As a 6'8" guy (with long thigh bones) you are making a minor problem out to be a major one. Yes, we have to splay our legs a little bit but I have no problem do

  Either your thigh bones are not long for your height (people have different proportions), or you have lucked out with airlines that still have decent legroom. I'm 1.97 (I think 6'6" according to some random website) and long-haul flights are torturous to me, I always end up with knee and leg pain, and definitely don't feel identified with "the act of sitting down for so long is far more painful than anything my height causes". It's more comfortable for me to sit on a train (good legroom) for 4X hours than on a plane for X hours (whether I can afford the extra time is another story).

    are you sure you are buying aisle seats? i can't imagine sitting at window being 196cm, but in aisle i can stretch at least one leg (though i got used to being occasionally hit by flight attendants) and the other one must go to space between seats in front of me since i can't sit straight, it's physically impossible i would propose except paying for seat apparently paying for weight, your already have to pay for heavier baggage anyway, why not pay more for weight, you can at least influence that unlike height
