What is an “economy class”?
Economy class is the lowest / cheapest class of seating in air travel. Some airlines have renamed their economy class for marketing purposes. Such names include British Airways’ World Traveller, Kingfisher Airlines’ Kingfisher Class, United Airlines’ Economy/Economy Plus, Air Canada’s Hospitality/Hospitalité, Philippine Airlines’ Fiesta Class (although Economy Class is widely used), LAN Tourist Class, and Air France’s Voyageur. The seat pitch of domestic economy class seats range from 29 to 36 inches (74 to 91 cm), usually 30–32 in (76–81 cm), and 30 to 36 in (76 to 91 cm) for international economy class seats.
