Legroom fit calculator

Pitch is the distance from one point on a seat to the same point on the seat in front. It is a proxy for legroom, not a measure of your actual knee room, which also depends on the seat's build. Every SeatInfo seat map lists pitch per cabin.

Most of the difference in legroom between two travelers is thigh length, which tracks closely with height. We estimate your thigh from your stature, so a taller flyer sees less clearance from the same pitch.

It is a rule of thumb, not a guarantee. Seat cushion depth, fixed armrests, a bulkhead, and under-seat boxes all shift the real feel by an inch or two. Treat it as a way to compare rows, not an exact measurement.

Exit rows and bulkhead rows usually add a few inches of pitch, though some exit seats do not recline. Aisle seats let you stretch a leg out even when pitch is tight. Check the actual seat map for the plane you are flying.
