West Jet has added an extra row to 21 planes in their fleet by re-configuring their economy cabins. This has resulted in leg room shrinking to 28 inches on those planes.
Other planes aren’t much different, from what I could find, here is how others compare in standard economy
- Air Canada: 30-31inches
- Porter: 30 inches
- American Airlines: 30.2 inches
- United Airlines: 30.1 inches
