What a Differance an Inch Makes.....

I'm 6'6" and 285 lbs. I try to always get early boarding so I can either get an exit row or a front seat at the bulk head. Inevitably if I get a regular economy seat the person in front of me will try to recline and I'd really prefer not to have a strangers head in my lap.

Welcome to the forum 'Big Guy'...... I cannot imagine what you have to go through.

As Andrea stated "welcome to the posting side".

Me too! But at least I have this solution. I feel bad for those who legs need more room. I'm not a large person but still would like more width in the seat for a little more personal space.

for those of us in "steerage"
i would love someday not to have to fight for armrest space

One of the tips I learned years ago is to bring a beach ball on the plane and partially inflate it, when you are seated, so you have a foot rest.
