Best Airlines for Long-Haul Flights in Economy - by Ed Perkins/ SmarterTravel.com

What makes a "best" airline for a long-haul flight in economy class? Mainly, in the view of experienced travelers, it's the amount of room you get.

And although few economy cabins offer what most of us would consider adequate room - especially for a long overwater and often overnight flight - some are better than others..l.

Generally, the European airlines as a group have a better TATL product than North American sirlines. NW used to rank up close to the Europeans, but DL destroyed that when it took over. One exception of the European legacies is probably SAS. While I have never flown their TATL product, their intra-Europe product reminded me more of an LCC than it did of a legacy.
