eurovision Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Does the 33 inches start from the back of your seat or is it square inches or what? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikki-red Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 I think the seat pitch is measured from the back of one seat to the same point on the back of the seat behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rupert_Baehr Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 I think it's measured from the back of the seat in front of you to the front of the back (if that makes sense) of your seat. it does not include the thickness of the upright part of your seat. Effectively, it's an indication of how much room you will have for the part of your body between your kneecap and the bottom of your spine.

banjodeano Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Surly pitch means from one centre point to another...which means from centre of one chair to the centre of another... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obelix Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 The pitch is the distance between one point ona seat and the same point on the next seat. It typically is measured by looking at the floor anchor bolts for the seat leg. A pitch of 33 inches is quite generous for an economy class eat - most are about the 30-31 inch range (some as little as 28 inches - I'm not flying Spirit Airlines again!) IF you lose approx 6 inches for the seat thickness and cushioning (probably excessive) that's still a pitch of 27 inches, and if your knee to backside distance is longer than that you are very tall and need ideally to try for an aisle or front row seat.

Jeffrey Shaw Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 'On a flight, what does 33 inch pitch mean?' It's Gerard Depardieu boasting whilst taking a weight off his, er, mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plain Talker Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 I think it's measured from the back of the seat in front of you to the front of the back (if that makes sense) of your seat. it does not include the thickness of the upright part of your seat. Effectively, it's an indication of how much room you will have for the part of your body between your kneecap and the bottom of your spine. and how much of your leg will protrude through the spine of the person in the seat in front of you... lol.

kidley Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 i will copy and past it for you. SEAT PITCH This is the distance between a row of seats - the measurement from the same position on two seats, one behind the other - it is NOT the legroom area as some believe. (For example, the back face of the seat in front of you, measured to the same point on the back face of the seat you are sitting in) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
