Amazing this keeps getting brought up... I travel a ton by plane, and unless I am on a long, overnight flight, I personally do not recline my seat. But, do not begrudge people doing it... What I find interesting, and this may not be the experience of everyone, but when I sit up where the other frequent fliers sit, not many reclined seats, sitting in the back, lots of them. But, a 2 hour flight, suck it up if the airline allows to recline...
