Maybe you need the standing "seats" some airlines have considered.
My doctor has advised me to spend as little time as possible in my seat while flying. Just last summer we flew from JFK to Seoul and back...15 hours each way. I spent at least 10 hours on my feet in both directions.
Then you’ll be bouncing off the overhead. Take an aspirin and try tall compression socks too. That can help.
Walking during flight is helpful in preventing DVT.

Why are you flying anywhere if you feel pressured to stand up as much as possible? Or was this humor that I just plum overlooked? I can’t imagine any flight attendant letting a customer remain standing w/o a fight. They are in control up there.
That seems like sound advice. I will try to remember that.

I hear you on that. Try those compression socks. A man I know from the 160th SOAR spends a LOT of time sitting in a helo. He swears by ‘em for long flights.
"10 hours on my feet in both directions"
I think Tim Russert died from blood clots in his legs after flying to and from Rome.
I could also be having a false memory.
If you have to stay erect... (snicker) Make sure you walk around frequently, You are allowed to but you are not allowed to stand in a certain spot where other people are. It is a FAR requirement that all passengers must be within a certain distance to an oxygen mask. (Recovering aircraft engineer here.) Sometimes, you can have a good conversation and get so e free drinks just being kind to a resting flight attendees in the galley. BUT, if the attendant is resting move along and just amble up and down the aisle slowly.
My nephew same flight itinerary came how and died a few days later, blood clots in his legs
