Singapore Airlines 777-200ER V2, Emirates A380 and Korean Air 777-200ER top the economy class with generous seat pitch of 34 inches (86cm). On the lower list of economy class, Jetstar provides 29 inches on its A320s, followed by Tigerair and Malaysia Airlines who give 30 inches their A319s, A320s and B737-800s respectively. Thus, if you have long legs, you might want to look for the other options below:

Congratulation to Scoot for topping the list! Well done for a Budget airline! Scoot’s Dreamliners have seat width ranging between 18.9 to 19.7 inches. Singapore Airlines’ A380s also does well with a seat width of 19 inches. Following closely is Emirates and Thai Airways with 18 inches on their A380-800s. Tigerair, another budget carrier, doesn’t lose out to full service carriers with seat width of 18 inches on its A319s.

United Airlines’ economy class is the most generous in cabin baggage allowance

Topping the list in this category is United Airlines, which accepts cabin baggage based on bag dimension rather than weight. So start squeezing what you can into the accepted dimensions of 22 cm x 35 cm x 56 cm (including handles and wheels)! Other generous airlines include British Airways with 23kg, Delta with 18kg and Korean Air with 12kg. Most other airlines follow strict cabin bag allowance of 7kg but will usually allow a smaller personal item such as a handbag or laptop bag on top of this allowance.

4. Airline with the best inflight entertainment in economy class: Emirates

Emirate’s award-winning ICE system, with over 2,500 channels, will surely keep you entertain during your long flight. Skyscanner recommends flying with United Airlines if you like to watch an entire box set or two. On the other hand, budget carriers are weak in inflight entertainment. But that is not really an issue, just bring along your own entertainment.
