Flying on an airplane in the year of our lord 2025 is an absolutely miserable experience. After cutting every corner possible to keep prices low, airlines have turned their attention to the passengers themselves in order to farm some additional capital.

See, to the airlines, you’re just a wallet waiting to be emptied. They’ll charge you for food, drinks, bags, and now, reclining your seat. How great is that?

This latest innovation comes courtesy of Canadian airline WestJet. According to Fox Business, the airline’s new Boeing 737s will offer several different types of seats. If you pay the normal price, your seat won’t be able to recline at all. However, if you spring for the “premium” seats — of which there are only 12 — you’ll be granted the luxury of leaning back a few inches.

In short, it’s yet another attempt to paywall basic comfort. At this rate, the next in-flight upgrade will be paying extra to not get slapped in the face by your flight attendent.
