leg room

Seat stretching space

Leg room is the space available for a seated person's legs, especially in vehicles and theaters.

Adequate leg room allows passengers to stretch or shift position; inadequate leg room leaves knees jammed against the seat ahead.

Economy class has notoriously little leg room.

The term applies anywhere seating constrains leg space.
