Easy to make fun of obese people. But what about really tall people, or particular muscular people?
As a 6’5” man, I can fit only by bruising my knees from pressing them against the seat in front of me. Then some normal-sized idiot in front of me decides that its his inalienable right to recline his seat, further crushing my knees.
My dad is 6’-4” and he always flew 1st class for the extra legroom.
I’m 6’1” and the commuter planes (that hold about 50 people) that fly out my city are a load of fun. I needed a chiropractor after a one-two hour flight, lol. There wasn’t even room to stand up straight in the bathroom!
I'm 6'4" and that is one of the reasons that I quit flying eight years ago.
What? It isn't?
If I pay for my seat, am I not allowed to recline it because you are sitting behind me?

I’ve found that when that happens, my bladder shrinks. Every 10-15 minutes I have to get up, and because of the tight quarters, I have to put 80, maybe 90 percent of my weight on the back of the seat in front of me. I feel bad for this so I release quickly. It kind of behaves like a catapult. By the third trip, well, the seat is upright.... Then there is the incessant tapping. I have a medical condition, thus an inalienable right to tap the spine of my book on the next seat when its too close. Needles to say, I have not quite figured out how to recline my seat, so there it is.
