Flying on a budget is meant to save money, but new footage circulating online has reignited the debate over whether passengers are now paying for low fares with basic physical comfort. A recently published report has drawn attention to the tightest economy seating seen on a Canadian budget airline, showing passengers pressed shoulder-to-shoulder and unable to stretch their legs.
The controversy centres on a viral video filmed inside a standard economy cabin, where legroom appears so limited that aisle passengers are forced to angle their legs into the walkway. The footage, first reported by the Daily Mail, has prompted wider questions about how far airlines can push seat density before it affects passenger well-being.
