Sounds like discrimination! Iâ(TM)m 185cm (6'1") and planes arenâ(TM)t built for people my height, and Iâ(TM)m really not that tall. Just getting one that fits my back/shoulders and knees is impossible. My weight I can control, but not my height. And even if you get more space by paying for it, you still have people next to you who canâ(TM)t keep to their own space, even when theyâ(TM)re tiny.
I just flew back from Rio to Lisbon on TAP Portugal. Really nice flight and plenty of legroom in economy. So much better than my outbound flight on Iberia from Madrid to Montevideo; what a shitty airline. Pretty good experience with LATAM around S. America too. There are still airlines that are ok. I try to avoid American airlines and European budget ones; I value my sanity and circulation.
