[NAGDU] Airline seat designations

Tracy,

Probably you won't have to upgrade. Given that you fit into the seat on the
commuter jet you should be fine. 


Best Regards,


Michael Hingson

I think it depends on the size of your dog and how much leg room you need. I
was recently ok in an economy seat on a 6 hour flight but I'm 5/4 (if I
stand tall) and my dog is 48 pounds. Some dogs also curl really really well
even if they're big. That said, I'd say if you have the option of upgrading
just for you and your dog's comfort then why not do it. It might just come
down to whether you absolutely have to deal with the economy seat or if you
have other options.

Can one of you frequent flyers enlighten me about airline seat designations,
maybe?

I have a seat called "economy" on a Boeing 757.

I know I had plenty of room for me and Krokus in "economy+" on a commuter
plane, one of those planes with maybe 80 seats.

So do I need to upgrade to "economy+" to be sure we both have some space?
It's a 6 hour international flight, so I don't want to be really squashed
in.

Thanks.

Tracy
