      Was about to say this myself before I saw your comment. I’m 6ft 1 in (185 cm) and I stand up as soon as we land because after 2 hours of having my knees jammed up against the seat in front, I want relief. I can only imagine how much worse it is for taller people. For shorter people who do this I will also give the benefit of the doubt because most seats on planes are not the most comfortable.

          I’m 6’3 and plane seats have gotten so small that I look like a joke person on a kiddie plane most of the time. If there’s enough headroom, I stand up asap too.

          If I get stuck in a window seat, I just have to hope the other people get up so I can angle my legs over into their spot before I die from deep vein thrombosis from having my legs cramped into one position for so long.

      Or my bony ass hurts. Seriously, I look like a frog standing up. I don’t have a butt, it’s just more back.
