You must be of size medium to small then because legroom is definitly an issue for me, especially for longer flights and I'm just 180cm. (just below average hight)

Or alternativly you can afford better seats than me.

The "just below average" caught my attention, and it looks like that that's probably not true about most countries in the world..?

Yeah but the person you are replying to is Swedish, according to a previous comment of his.
I am of the same height as you, and I managed a Ryan Air flight to Madrid a couple of weeks ago with enough legspace that I was able to put my bag under seat in front and pull it out without having to shift around noticeably.

On the other hand, I took an Iceland Express flight many years ago, and my knees were uncomfortably pressed against the seat in front.

It does seem to be all over the place.

Indeed. I am 190 cm and leg room is by far the biggest issue when flying.
