no legroom
Sardine-can seating situation
No legroom describes a cramped seating situation where there's insufficient space between seats for passengers' legs to fit comfortably.
The phrase is nearly synonymous with economy air travel: We paid extra to escape the no-legroom seats in the back.
It extends to any tight seating—buses, theaters, compact cars.
