      6"1’ could be uncomfortable for a long flight. I’ve heard of businesses approving business class travel for tall people (with a medical waiver) but the YouTuber does sound clickbaity.

        I’m 6’ and fly quite often in regular flights, probably a dozen or so times a year. Never have I thought “man I’m too tall for this, I don’t want to fly”

        I’m 6’4" and have always flown economy. Some carriers are better than others, and seats with extra leg room are obviously a thing. It is by no means impossible to fly economy at 6’1".

        This is 100% out of touch. I say that as someone that has watched this Youtuber’s videos in the past. The fact he not only recorded it, but then edited the footage, and released it without considering that is fucking ridiculous.

          I mean are you though? I’m 188cm and am definitely not happy in a long economy flight, not that there’s much of a choice for me financially. But, I also have wide shoulders and that’s honestly probably more aggravating than my knees brushing the seat in front of me if I think about it.
