Legroom is going to shrink aboard one US carrier's flights.

Long-legged fliers may be particularly interested in a side-by-side comparison of airlines that offer the most and least amount of legroom, after the world's largest airline revealed that flying economy class will become an even tighter squeeze.

American Airlines will be reducing legroom by as much as two inches for passengers traveling economy aboard their Boeing 737 MAX jetliners, which are due to enter service later this year. The jets will fly primarily domestic routes.

Seat pitch -- the distance between seats -- will shrink from 31 inches to 29 inches on three rows of the aircraft, and down to 30 inches in the rest of the economy class cabin, reported CNN Money.

The move is aimed at  squeezing more seats into the aircraft's economy cabin, and it puts it on-par with low-cost carriers like Spirit Airlines and Frontier Airlines, where seat pitch averages 28 inches.
