I was originally going to write this post about the airline industry is heightist, meaning that for people like me that are tall, airlines, especially low budget airlines are a pain to use. Which was very evident when I went to Amsterdam last month and felt like a sardine in a can in my own seat as I was wedged with my knees against the seat in front of me.
But since this trip I have had another to London in which I bought speedy boarding, which meant that I was one of the first people on the plane. And let me tell you, this made all the difference in the world. And anybody out that who has the same leg room problem I have, I would seriously advise you to pay the extra £4 or how ever much it is and get the priority or speedy boarding. That way you can go and get one of the seats by the exit, or at the front of the plane that give you ample leg room.
Now if you are super tall, I am not sure that it will fix it for you, but if you are between 6′1″ and 6′5″ I think this will help you out a lot.
So while I still think that the airline industry is heightist and us tall people shouldn’t have to pay extra just so that we don’t feel constricted in our seats, there is a solution, it costs a few pounds more, but makes the world of difference.
