Do you find flying these days to be a comfortable and pleasurable experience? Unless you own your own private jet, we're guessing that the answer is "no." That's because the airline passenger volume on modern aircraft has been scaled down with every re-design to allow the airlines to cram more and more people on every flight. The seats have gotten smaller, the seat pitch has become more restrictive, and all the designers have done to counteract the effects of overcrowding is create clever design elements to trick us into thinking that we have more space than we actually have. Meanwhile, the average passenger has gotten larger and our zones of personal space have virtually vanished as a result of these combined factors. Want to know what you can do about it?

In today's fast paced world, most of us are essentially forced to fly at one time or another. And there are many of us who don't particularly look forward to the opportunity, because we know that our zones of personal space will be infringed upon the moment we board the plane. Seats and personal areas seem to get smaller all the time, while passengers keep getting bigger and bigger. This "critical mass" approach to maximizing airline passenger volume may do good things for the airlines' bottom lines, but invading personal space comes at the expense of their customers' safety and comfort. We're the ones paying, so why should we suffer? Use SuffocatingTraveler.com to learn more about exactly what the airlines can do to make improvements and to contact the agencies who regulate these elements of travel.
