What Exactly is Seat Width?
Found myself in two planes last week with the same seat-pillow width but the arm rests where almost three times thicker in one, making me feel cramped. Up to now, I've never been bothered by the width of the seat since I am below average width and height compared to a North American.
Should Seat Width be the size of the bottom cushion or the space between armrests?
