People are reacting to today's grim facts about air travel and its headaches. These include tighter, cramped airline seats, other passengers' lack of consideration for reclining seats and overhead luggage space (among other issues), and a variety of other nuisances that arise in air travel today.

Here's how a range of people responded to these questions today.

Regarding whether to change seats with other passengers if someone asks you to change seats:

"Absolutely not. Everyone travels alone a lot, and airline staff will ask individual passengers to change seats first. No one should be forced to give up a seat (unless doing so would result in an upgrade) or a voucher, whether requested by a family member or by an airline. "

Regarding whether passengers should recline their seats:

“Everyone pays for the right to recline their seats for a more comfortable travel experience. If reclining seats are such a big problem, why would airlines install them? If someone pokes our seat, we keep the seat in the reclined position throughout the flight. "

For those of you stuffing your overhead luggage with too many bags:

"If everyone stopped carrying the kitchen sink as a carry-on [bag], there would be plenty of room overhead, which would free up legroom. Don't complain about $40 for checked bags. If you can't afford checked baggage, maybe you shouldn't be flying in the first place. "

While the falling cost of airfare and the rise of budget airlines has made flying easier, it has also created some major drawbacks that can make your flight unpleasant. Sadly, shrinking plane seats and cramped legroom have become the norm as airlines try to cram as many passengers as possible into tight spaces.
