IF there’s one thing that blights air travel it’s reclining seats.

Whether you do or don’t, if the person in front of you leans their seat right back into your space, life can be difficult.

Now, former EastEnders’ actor Sid Owen has reportedly been kicked off a flight from Dubai for arguing with a passenger over his reclined seat. Unfortunately, as long as airlines cram in seats you will always have disputes. They either ban the practice, as is happening on some domestic flights, or alter seating to provide more space so everyone can recline without upsetting the passenger behind.
