Haven't heard the "landing clap" for years !
(We were on that flight but back in September)
I can't bear my knees touching the seat in front, I can hardly move in the seats as it is without having to turn my knees sideways too!
I think it's worth the extra for the posh seats - but there's only two of us so not so bad.
Not many airlines left offering more than 29inches now - even Jet2 have scrapped their extra legroom up front.
