Speaking only for myself, I would like the option of LESS seat and leg room. I am 5 foot 7 and very flexible. I sit with my legs folded under me even in an ordinary chair, and can do that in an airline seat with room to spare. In my ideal world, there would be an airline that offered small spaces (at a discount, of course) for people who wanted them.

I’m 5’7”, 140 lbs. Its nice having airline seats and Amtrak sleepers designed for me. I wish DC would look into lowering top shelves in stores and basketball goals.

I’m guessing your favorite car would be something like the 1957-75 Fiat 500.

You are truly blessed. I wish I had your flexibility and good blood circulation. At times, I will fidget in my plane seat like a restless child, as I look for a ‘comfortable’ position. Of course, I’m arthritic, overweight and bored on top of it all. That’s where one of those little bottles of Vodka comes in handy. My ‘Nerve Tonic’. I’ll mix that with my Orange Juice and take a nap while staring out of the window. Hopefully, nobody shuts that window view! Once I see the vast fluffy floors of white cotton candy, I can usually relax for a while.

I’m 6’1” and 69+ years old. I’m currently about as flexible as a 300 year old oak tree. I hate airline seats and have avoided them since 2005. I dread the thought going to visit my son and DIL who moved across the country. Guess I’ll wait for them to visit me.
