So (with the caveat that I didn't bring a measuring tape) it would appear that Aerolopa is incorrect. The legroom in row 14 is just barely enough to fit my legs if I sit fully upright, if two full inches were missing like it suggests I would *certainly* notice that because it would simply not fit.
It’s quite curious that both KLM on A321 and AF on A220 are deploying such tight legroom on their new planes, basically the same legroom as Transavia or Ryanair. With the announced probably BOB introduction, this will erase almost any difference to a lowcost airline (except price).
With A220 I was so excited to finally fly on it, and then was shocked that I could barely fit in the seat. Now the only row that I feel normal on is the exit row.
It’s quite disappointing that we are getting to depend on the extra legroom or exit row seats on airlines that are saying their want to “move upmarket”, when in reality they move downwards and downwards.
