"Wide" people, for example with very broad shoulders, but fit and in proportion, just have to suffer the discomfort of long, crowded flights. You can book the seat beside you, but better if you're travelling with someone to just book your seats together, and then put up the armrest between your seats. For tall travellers, exit rows usually have the most leg room.

They are definitely not all the same size, although in coach they are generally pretty close. You will want to try either SeatGuru.com or SeatExpert.com because there are many many factors which affect the amount of space available to you.
1) The carrier's preferred configuration. United has more space in their Economy Plus section at the front of the plane. You must be either a premier flier or pay to get your way up here most of the time. JetBlue has more space in the back half of the plane for now, although they are removing an additional row up front to space things out. It varies from carrier to carrier. This is referred to as the "pitch" - or the space between a seat and the exact same spot on the next seat back. Typical seat pitches in coach range from 30" to 36".
2) Different types of aircraft. Boeing 737, 747, 757, and 767 aircraft use seats which are about 17" wide. Boeing 777 and most Airbus aircraft typically use seats closer to 18" wide in most cases.
3) The seat type selected by the carrier. Some seats have thinner backs than others, and give the person behind more room. Some just feel more comfortable.
4) Location on the plane: Exit row seats usually have more pitch (more leg room) but are often narrower since many include the tray tables in an armrest.

On U.S domestic coach seats they are all very close in size. Some many be an inch wider then another, but for the most part they are the same. Some ways you can get more room...
1. Exit row seats.
2. Bulk Head seats
Obviously first class is more spacious then coach, but not always worth the price is many cases these days.
This is a great seat to check out

You need a seat with more leg room, but not width. Try to get a bulkhead seat (first row) or exit row. I think airlines should reserve some of these seats for tall people, cos the person in front can't recline when your knees are up against their seat and you are suffering too.

Seats are all the same size and distance from each other (worse than a stadium) except for first class where you can stretch your legs anywhere.
If you're going to be on a longer trip, considering paying extra for comfort.
