Now the b*****s charge you extra for 'em! By and large I've found most scheduled flights are pretty good on leg-room these days; there' so much competition they can't just pack 'em in like they used to. I haven't been on a charter flight for some years (most of the places I need to go are served by scheduled carriers that are actually cheaper than the charters) so I don't know if they're still as bad as they used to be.
Thanks for all these replies. My main (and probably only!) problem is that I'm fat. Consequently, my knees are further forward than a 'normal' person's. The only flights I take are to Canada - an eight hour journey.
I would definitely never take charter again; the last (and only) one I took was the most uncomfortable 2 x eight hours I have ever spent!
What I want is a cheap, comfortable flight. I'll just keep trawling through the net.
Thanks for all your help.
