"Earn $100 for sitting in an airplane seat for eight hours."
No f'ing way for $100, or even $1k. I'm 6'5", 250 LB. I'm dreading a 5 hour flight next week.
Southwest has the best legroom; my knees are only slightly jammed into the seat. Those CRJ-700 regional jets; I cannot physically sit down. Fortunately those usually have economy +. I told my work if they give me any trouble for booking that seat, I'll file an OSHA report.
- bitL 9y agoAnother 6'5"+ here. I damaged my left knee while flying from Europe to New Zealand due to tight seats and people in front of me declining their seats as well. Everything is made for average-to-small people :-(
- madengr 9y agoSouthwest will let you pre-board if you are 6'3"+. I did that for several years until they banned pre-boards from sitting in the exit rows. It's only usefull now for getting the bulkhead seats.
- dc_gregory 9y agoExcept for those really high shelves.
- enobrev 9y agoAt 6'6" / 250, this is exactly why I stick with a frequent flyer program - so that I can upgrade any flight above 3 hours.
- sitepodmatt 9y agoA lot of airlines will let you pay extra for the extra legroom seats - my experience on Malaysian, Singapore Airlines, FinnAir so being an FF or paying for business isn't always necessary if it's just height/legroom. Width wise there's no answer in economy.

- madengr 9y agoYes, with the metal tray-table hinge digging into your kneecap.
