It's personally relevant, like MrT if we were unable to acquire a minimum of PE then we'd look at biz class alternatives/change our dates. We simply can't cope being shoe horned in a 17.5" seat width anymore, the last time we did, in 2012, I required weeks of physio and caused further deterioration to my back.

If it's a cost issue I fully understand why many don't place value on PE, but for those of us with health issues requiring additional space it's worth every additional penny.
