American Is Reducing Your Legroom — Find Out How Other Airlines Compare

On the majority of American's Boeing and Airbus aircraft, the seat pitch ranges between 31 and 32 inches (there are a few exceptions). However, for its upcoming Boeing 737 Max jetliners, seat pitch is reportedly being reduced to 29 inches in certain economy rows, which is low compared to most other major airlines in the US, and instead, more in line with low-fare airlines like Spirit and Frontier (both have seat pitches starting at 28 inches).
