sounds horrible, i haven't flown for a decade but at least over here it used to be that if you get the ultracheap carrier like ryanair then it would seat 3 rows of 5 in regular 747 while a regular carrier like finnair would seat 3x3 so much mode room width wise and same would also go for length so the ultracheap carrier would be packed like sardines while regular carries would be relatively comfortable it seems your carriers are now doing the ryanair route of sardine packing
