The push button gives you more space to lean back, without being hindered by limited armrests and increasing legroom.

Airplanes always have many mysteries for passengers, such as why the windows are oval and have a small hole, why the lights must be turned off during takeoff and landing... Airplane seats are no exception. |
 |
Seating on planes is limited due to limited space. However, passengers can still "expand" a little to feel more comfortable, especially those who are overweight. |
 |
The button on the seat handle can help you recline up to 40% of the seat area. Almost every passenger knows this because it is a common principle on many means of transport, most commonly buses. |
 |
However, you may not know about another "secret" button that can help you breathe a little easier during the flight. And this button only appears in aisle seats. |
 |
To find it, feel under the handle, near the hinge, and gently press the button. It gives you more room to recline, without the hindrance of limited armroom, and gives you a little extra legroom. |
 |
This is also a useful trick when you need extra space to stand up and retrieve your luggage from the overhead compartment. It can also help you move out of your seat easily without disturbing the person sitting next to you. |
 |
However, widening the gap was not the original design intention of the manufacturers. It was made to help you get out of the place quickly and easily when there is an escape warning. |
