what airline gives us the most leg room,charter/schedule.
what class difference is the best.or do you know better.

Domestically (US) speaking, I'd like to know too. American alleges they took out a couple rows in the back, but I don't know how much really of a difference that would make.

If anyone knows please put up your fave three for most leg room.

United took out a row in coach, and now has a 36 inch pitch in the first few rows (average coach is 30-31 inches), so its a big improvement. Unfortunately, the seats are reserved for people with frequent flyer status or who've paid full fare coach (ie business travellers flying on short notice).

Here's a URL which shows seat map, seat width and pitch (distance between seats) for all plane types and for all airlines:

Industry average for coach is 29-31 inches pitch, American now averages 33-35 with seat width 19 inches, Midwest Express is 34 inches with 22 inch width.
Those are top averages for coach.

I took an American flight on a new route from San Jose to Hawaii, and they had the new seat configuration. The seats were so far apart the person on the window seat could get up to go to the bathroom without asking everyone else to move! Now that's a lot of room! Not all of their planes are done yet, but when they are, I won't fly any other airline.

Al, that's the 'old configuration'.
The new arrangement is as stated (from one of their press releases). The reason their site hasn't updated is that most of their planes haven't been reconfigured yet. If they put that info on the site, it's going to create problems, as you can imagine, for those on the 'old' planes and for those who see it as inaccurate PR.
