People reclining the seat in front of me in economy makes the flight basically unbearable for me. That's why I will never fly economy again for flights > 2 hours. From your comment I guess you are not very tall.

Book the exit row. The seat in front of it can't recline to ensure the pathway is open.

Bonus tip: if there are two exit rows back to back, pick the one in the back. It will be able to recline but can't be reclined in front of.

Yeah, that was great until the airlines made those $150+ "upgrade" seats.

It's not as if tickets have been getting cheaper, to compensate, either. It's gotten to the point that I simply refuse to fly domestic unless I am forced.

I am doing that whenever I can for the < 2 hour flights, but for longer flights economy is just too much of a pain anyway.
