Tray issues aside for the ... more ample people on the flight, i'm 6'4", and find that my legs are just a smidge longer than 30in which is annoying - especially when the woman in front with head phones on reclines her seat and forces my kneecaps to end up somewhere mid thigh... but i digress.9 T* d* b1 Y% g* h! d6 H" D
/ ~: Y. R- p9 N3 f9 oThese seats seem to be dependant on your legs being at an angle – the lady in the flowery shirt can’t be that tall – so if I sat there with my longer legs… wouldn’t my seat have to be higher?/ C( |, g. _4 [0 i2 p" d" w1 H3 W" q
