Yeah, there's hardly any room to do anything on a flight. You can't get comfortable at all. We've resorted to buying the seats by the emergency exit because it gives just a few more inches of room. It's sad.
My knees literally hit the seat back, just sitting normal, and I'm tall but not that tall (6-2). There are plenty of folks that go thru the airports that are as tall if not taller than I am!
Same boat, 6'-2", fly for work, a lot of regional jets- even worse, no seat padding on a lot of them. Most exit row seats don't recline and they still charge a premium for them. AND NO MORE HONEY ROASTED PEANUTS! I am so tired of baby pretzels.
Delta started handing out a decent snack mix, i was surprised when they offered it. The regional jets are awful, i was on a dual prop pond hopper once that felt like it was going to rattle apart on idle sitting on the tarmac, It finally evened out after they throttled up but I was thinking aww man i'm gonna die today!
