The Dreaded Continental 757-200
The found a reasonable fare to Edinburgh on Continental but have heard bad things about the their 757-200. According to Seat Guru, it is on the small side. The fare is hundreds less than other airlines but with my bad back and hubbies long legs - is the difference in fare worth it??

It's the plane that's small. Pitch is 31 inches, which is pretty normal for wedging people into cattle class. Width is 17.2 inches -- some airlines have 17.5 in international coach, but some have 17, and personally I would worry more about price than about 3/10 inch.

I just learned something from another flight that means you may want to lose one whole inch! American's 777 economy seats are 18.2" wide. Don't know whether that's an option for you, but it's wider than the norm.
