Pitch is the distance from one seat to the same point on the seat in front. Every seat map lists it per cabin.

Estimated knee room

9in

Generous

Plenty of room to stretch. You could cross your legs without hitting the seat in front.

Tip: exit rows and bulkheads usually add a few inches of pitch. Aisle seats let you stretch a leg out.

How it works

From your height to real knee room

Four quick steps turn two numbers into a verdict you can act on.

  1. 1

    Enter your height

    Set your height in inches or centimetres. We use it to estimate how far your knees sit from your hips.

  2. 2

    Add the seat pitch

    Every seat map lists pitch per cabin. Drop it in, or load a quick scenario to start.

  3. 3

    We do the math

    We subtract your thigh length and the seat cushion from the pitch to see what is left in front of your knees.

  4. 4

    Read the verdict

    Generous, comfortable, tight, or very tight, so you know whether to hold out for an extra-legroom row.

Legroom questions

About the legroom calculator

How the estimate is built and where its limits are.

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.
