extra legroom
More knee space
Extra legroom refers to seating—typically on airplanes, trains, or buses—with more space between rows than standard seats provide.
Airlines charge premium prices for extra legroom seats, usually in exit rows or designated sections: I paid thirty dollars for extra legroom on the red-eye.
The term has become shorthand for any upgrade in personal space during travel.
