As airlines around the world search for higher revenues and increased profitability, the effect on the passenger experience has not been overly positive to say the least. Even though airliners have not been getting any larger, their passenger carry-ing capacity have been growing steadily. Airlines have achieved this by cutting down the size of lavatories and the amount room between seats. (This is also known as seat pitch.)

Using data from TripAdvisor's SeatGuru as well as from airlines themselves, we've compiled a run down on the amount of seat pitch offered in the economy-class cabins of the nation's major airlines. This includes America's three major legacy carriers along with boutique airlines such as JetBlue and Virgin America as well as ultra low cost operators such as Spirit and Frontier.
