So much for our classless society: If you want to see a caste system in action, just fly. Seats are separating everyone in the neighborhood by wealth or at least the riches of lots of frequent flyer miles which amounts to the same thing. Got a spare $14,000? Then you too can fly first class from New York to Paris on Air France this fall, and if you wind up on one of their monster aircraft - the A380 can hold 853 passengers - you can spread out in a 35 inch wide seat, with nearly seven feet of space separating you from the guy in front of you.
However, if seated in steerage - sometimes known as economy class - your seat is only 19 inches wide with a mere 32 inches of seat separation. It could be worse; on Spirit Airlines, seat width is just 17-and-a-half inches wide, with 28 inches of seat-to-seat space. Never thought I'd say this but it's a good thing those new Spirit seats don't recline.
On the bright side, the airlines are on an aircraft spending spree, and while newer models may not always mean more room for you, they can provide little touches of convenience and style to make any trip less of an ordeal. And it sure doesn't hurt our economy, either.

Nice.
