Re:DVT? Just increase the fucking legroom. (Score 1)

i had a connecting flight on my way to spain once. i flew lufthansa (out of detroit metro) to frankfurt, then frankfurt to madrid. i flew economy class and i found it impossible to fall asleep because i had no leg room. every german flight attendant was very hot, by the way. as i was saying... i am 6"3 and i had no leg room whatsoever. i felt cramped the whole eight hour flight. then we flew iberia from frankfurt into madrid, by then i was so tired and exhausted from no sleep and the jet lag i barely had a clue as to what was going on. on my way home i flew iberia from sevilla to madrid, then spanair from madrid to frankfurt. this is where the secret lies. on spanair (madrid to frankfurt) i got the seat in the emergency row. that was absolutely wonderful! the key is to buy a third class ticket and get an emerency row seat. you have the leg room of a first class seat. too bad that was only a two hour flight. then i flew lufthansa home and was back to being cramped and this old lady in front of me kept on trying to push her seat back.
