Especially in Low-Cost carrier in the present day, legroom is the most significantly change the way of comfort to passenger by reducing the legroom to 29 inches in average whereas normal seat pitch from full service airline is 31 inches. Inside airline interior mock up, the ability to adjust the seat pitch is in range between 28 to 43 inches.
A study to investigate the role of seat pitches that affect to well-being of passenger during en route flight.
