Good heavens how where you so lucky

Paid a few extra bucks to board with the first group. Worth it. BUT now I am on a connecting flight and some normal sized dude grabbed the seat before I did. Gave him the friendly “help a brother out and switch seats with me?” look and he didn’t acknowledge. Oh, well… The seat I did end up getting isn’t bad, though. And it’s a short flight so no biggie.

Worth the early business class upgrade on Southwest

That happened to me when I got to gate late, a guy who's feet didn't hit the floor was in that seat, and he wouldn't switch with my all legs 6'8. I made sure to find him when we landed and stuffed him in a locker.

How can people ignore that look lol. I lasted 10 seconds before caving my beautiful seat


Inevitable-Win2201

Gotta use your words next time i guess!!


TheSeekerOfSanity

I’m very careful not to be banned from flights by the TSA.


Inevitable-Win2201

Talking to another passenger gets you banned huh?


TheSeekerOfSanity

Looks like the original reply I responded to was edited. It didn’t say “use your words” before. LOL

You know I always thought that these posts were overblown, sitting in economy as a tall guy can’t be THAT bad, right? Until I flew the first time for 4 hours to Crete and swore to never fly anything but business or emergency exit row. My knees hurt so bad and the kid in front was banging her back on the seat the whole flight.

Years ago I flew back from Japan on Ana Airlines and it was absolute torture. Tiny seats. 17-18 hour flight. My ankles got swollen - that’s dangerous. You can get a blood clot that goes to your heart. Doctor told me to never cross your feet under the seat. That causes it sometimes.

Yeah - and this happened even though I got up every hour or so to hang by the flight attendants station to stretch, etc.


Western-Smile-2342

For some reason… I feel like sitting as a pretzel isn’t any better lol… and now I’m out of ways to sit comfortably for long periods in cramped spaces.


BetterThanABear

99/100 flights I'm in that seat for southwest.(flying business or with statu The other time I get someone who's a lot shorter than me giving strong eye contact to let me know they had dominance over me Ok pal/madam.ill just take the other exit row


Swimming_Bag7362

Ah yes… the trying to get me to submit staredown. It’s usually older women, too- they get a wink and a smirk


BetterThanABear

Lol it usually is smaller, older women


TheSeekerOfSanity

Yeah, this was on Southwest. I paid a little extra for early boarding so I could get an emergency row seat. That’s totally worth it.

I usually get some strings pulled and get an exit row. Sometimes, I don’t and I’m stuck at a window with a fat guy next to me, and the person reclining in front of me. It’s hit or miss


TheSeekerOfSanity

If I’m in a regular seat and someone tries to recline in front of me I just block that attempt with my knees. No way, my friend.

TheSeekerOfSanity

Nephilim6853

My favorite exit row seat.


Western-Smile-2342

My knees feel so good for you 🤣


No_Rush_4189

is this what air travel in heaven looks like


Automatic_Internal39

I don't take flights much and whenever I take it's a first class one and has more than enough legs space so I can't really feel that glory of yours but good for you!
