&gt; I am 1.88m tall, long legs and all, and have absolutely no issue travelling in tourist class around the world.<p>I too am 6&#x27;2 and find travelling any distance extremely uncomfortable, and if the person in front reclines they&#x27;re literally laying on my knees, bouncing up and down. International travel in economy is extremely uncomfortable as a result, and I routinely take painkillers before flying economy.<p>I pay (often 50% more) where I can to upgrade to &quot;Premium Economy&quot; (or exit rows, or anything to provide more legroom without bankrupting me).
