Sure, but it would also be nice if airlines didn't put space between chairs so tight that most people do not have a comfortable amount of leg room.

What I would give to live in a world where user/customer experience was prioritised over squeezing as much profits as possible.

And no, "tallish" people will not be the only ones facing trouble standing up. I am of average height. I cannot stand up in my seat on a plane.

I guess that depends on the country. In mine the average height is only around 170cm for men and around 160cm for women so less of an issue. In countries like the Netherlands, the average height(for men) is around 185cm so for them even 'short' people will face issues.

I'm only slightly taller than that and I have to bend my head way down.

I have no idea why you're arguing that you can comfortably stand up in an airplane seat without being very short when just looking at the picture shows that you can't. Unless every single person standing is really tall and so is the guy bending way down while trying to stand in his seat.

But hey, what am I going to believe, you or my own eyes?

I have no idea why you're arguing

Frankly neither do I. I guess I was bored at the office and was just curious to look up the average height statistics. Your are right though. Fuck the airlines. They should give us more head room and leg room
