What term describes the horizontal measurement of seat width?

• A. Seat width
• B. Seat depth
• C. Legroom
• D. Seat pitch

Answer: (A)

The horizontal measurement across the seat is seat width. It’s the distance from the inner edge of one armrest to the inner edge of the opposite armrest—the width of the seat surface. Seat depth, in contrast, is how far the seat goes from front to back; legroom (knee room) is the space for your legs; and seat pitch is the front-to-back distance between rows, describing how much space there is to stretch along the cabin direction.
