"just" is not the word to associate with "get up and walk around" on an airplane. Unless you have an aisle seat it's a notable hassle.

- hopler 7y agoNo, it's not. You say "pardon me" to your seat mate and they let you out or you climb over them.
- ergothus 7y agoThat is the description of the hassle (skipping the parts where they are asleep, have drinks/food/laptops, etc). But if you feel better for denying any social anxiety or physical discomfort I or others feel while "climbing over" strangers periodically, don't let me stop you.
- mikeash 7y agoAisle seats make up at least a third of all seats and don’t cost extra.
- ergothus 7y agoAnd they are my preference. But they aren't always available - per this topic, you're saying 2/3 of people have a harder time (despite the dismissive commentary from others) performing a routine task for their health.
- mikeash 7y agoIt’s not a solution for the masses, but it works well for the individual.
- jessaustin 7y agoNah, screw your seatmates. If they didn't want to have to wake up every two hours they should have taken a window seat.
- mikeash 7y agoEven with that approach, I’m not sure there’s enough room for everyone to take the recommended stand breaks.
