Are airlines reducing seat recline?

score:5

On short flights? Yes, and on some it is not possible to recline anymore.

This causes a lot of conflicts and complains, so airlines decided to reduce or to stop reclining seats. Most passengers are happy with this.

It is also cheaper for airlines: simpler seats, and less time to reset the seat after landing (short haul flights have much more flight segments).

But this works only on short haul. On medium and long haul we need to recline in order to have some rest, so airlines have not yet (as far I know) reduced such possibility.

Your flight is long haul, so it seems to me strange they reduced reclinability. But the seats (if you are a a new aircraft) are smaller (less thick), so some more space in front of you (but not for your legs).
