Over the last 9 years, I've dealt with some lower back pain, some of it sciatic. I've read that the new slimline seats used on a lot of airlines have virtually no lower back support. I use this product: http://www.healthyback.com/products/...bar-support/18 Would the TSA give me any trouble over this, or would they just scan it and let me through? This is something that I'd really like to know before my next flight.

No announcement yet.
Would the TSA allow me to bring a backrest?...

I agree. I've never seen anything remotely similar to this listed in the no-go list of carry-on items.

As you see, I've probably never sat in one of those new seats. An 'Economy' flight should not be painful.
So, I'd say, yes. What is it, a kind of pillow? That should be identified as harmless.The German long haul is alive, 65 years and still kicking.

Originally posted by Gabriel View PostThe thickness of the seat back is reduced to the minimum, to be able to cramp more seats without reducing further the seat pitch which is already below minimum.
Try a 12+ hours flight while being 6' 4" tall (1.93m) and then tell me.
But one thing is for sure. LH is not very keen, the longest nonstop flight on Earth is not our problem. Do we need more than 12 hours to reach you?
Let me just look that up. Ok. You are right. But I have an excuse: in 2016, it is not (no longer?) a LH-B744 that reaches you. Bad excuse, I know. Especially because the replacement does not seem that extremely different, at least seen from the apron.
Seat pitch is a good question. And Premium Economy is also quite a new invention.The German long haul is alive, 65 years and still kicking.
