This statistic describes the ranges of pitches in seating for selected airlines in the United States as of ***. Spirit airlines (the most complained-about airline in the U.S.) had the smallest pitch with just ** inches. Pitch refers to the distance between rows of airlines seats. Both seat pitch and width can vary among airlines and even between aircrafts within the same airline company.
