Flying just got a little less comfortable. Canadian budget airline WestJet is now charging passengers extra for seats that actually recline. The new design, rolling out this month, features only 12 fully reclining seats on each aircraft — while the rest will remain fixed. The airline says the move “enhances personal space” and offers “comfort at every budget.” But online, travellers are calling it a “cash grab” and “torture.” The change mirrors similar trends at low-cost carriers like Spirit, Jet2, and Pegasus, which have already removed recline functions to cut costs. For WestJet passengers, leaning back now comes at a price.
