If you ever get to fly first class (I have only twice), the entire flight experience is starkly different. I am 6'4", even with an economy plus upgrade the experience is horrible. I don't want to be catered to, I just want leg room. I shouldn't be in constant leg pain you know?

I was traveling cross-country with a friend a few weeks back. Between being able to go through TSA Pre with me, my club membership, and an upgrade to Polaris she was somewhat in awe of how the experience didn’t suck like it usually did.

At what point will people be able to sue airlines in the US for causing health issues with how cramped seats are?

Do you think that the situation in most of Europe, especially with budget airlines, is much different?

It’s fine when flying just an hour. It’s different if you fly to the other side of the world.

Exit row seats should meet your needs.

Check on seatguru before booking any flights.

Exit row seats are now premium seats that have a surcharge.

And far cheaper (last I saw was $50 for an overnight transatlantic flight) than an upgrade to the premium economy/business/first class seats (double fare or more).

Still only half of my femur fits on that economy seat. On 17-20 hour flight it's still major pain.
