This week, Canadian airline WestJet became one of the first to try to switch the ability to recline into a paid "perk" by announcing that it was reconfiguring 43 of its Boeing 737-8 MAX and 737-800 (BA) planes to have what it classifies as a "refreshed range of seating options."

I'd rather pay for preventing the front passenger from reclining into me.

Then he pays even more to recline even further. Will you match the $15?

Nah, they'll alternate reclinable and non-recinable rows - just for fun.
