Hello ,
Flying is a great way to travel because it gets you where you want to go faster than other forms of transport.
One negative when flying is the seating. Airlines organise the seats on their planes to carry as many people as possible.
For a flight that's only a few hours long, that's not so bad. If it's for a short time, it doesn't matter that you are super close to the next person, stuck between people, or have your knees pushed into the seat in front of you.
My first international flights lasted about six hours each. I had heard other (tall) people complain about the limited legroom in planes, so I knew what to expect. It didn't matter - I could still relax and even sleep!
On some flights, I got lucky.
One time I flew, I had a seat with a partition (1) in front of me, not another seat. The good thing was that we had lots of legroom. The bad thing is that the airlines sit people with babies near these partitions.
There was a baby on the other side of the aisle (2). And it cried. A lot.
I have flown on A380s a couple of times. The seats on them were a bit wider, plus there was more legroom. Excellent!
On the first part of my most recent (3) trip, I was seated behind a partition, so I had plenty of room. There were babies on each side, but amazingly, both slept for most of the (long!) flight.
The next flight was interesting. It was the first time I had travelled on this model of plane, and I thought it was really comfortable. There was enough room for longer legs. But it didn't matter - I had the three seats in my row all to myself!
On the way back, things got even better. I had three seats to myself again - this time by the window.
Perfect! I was able to rest my pillow against the wall of the plane and sleep.
What do you think of the seats in airplanes, ? Do you think that they're comfortable? Do you have enough room for your legs? Let me know what you think....
'Bye for now,

(1) partition - a 'fake' wall (often you can move a partition), used to separate one part of a room from another
(2) aisle - the 'gap'/walkway between two sets of seats (theatre, church, planes, trains etc) or between the sets of shelves in a supermarket
(3) recent - only just happened
