I suspect most of us travel economy class, at least when we travel on leisure.
Which airline provides the best seats (ignore the rest of the service) ??
I reckon there isn’t that much variation so I’m not going to lay down my own top 10, but feel free to do so yourselves!

the last time i flew economy was on a flight home and it was shocking compared to the cockpit seat but then again that is the royal first class seat i would think

BA usually have “wings” on the headrests these days for long haul flights. I quite like them – you can rest your head on them to get more positions to sit in. They also often have movable footrests – again, it means you can alter position and posture, making the journey a bit less tiring.

British Airways 734 and A319 were great. Their smaller aircraft all have leather seats which are not something you expect for short haul flights and especially not in economy!

I found the seats on the Air France A320 to be quite okay, but I think it depends how long the flight is, even a seat which seems comfortable at the beginning can become horrid after 5 or 6 hours. I don’t like the seats on the Air New Zealand 747-400, horrid to be stuck in for the 10 hours 30 minutes it takes to fly from LHR-LAX. I don’t like the side “wings” on those seats.
