Should being too-tall count as a disability so that passengers over 6-ft 3-in, or with a back-to-knee length exceeding 28-inch get a free upgrade to premium or exit-row seats, instead of encroaching on other passengers’ space?

I don’t think it should be considered a disability😭 but it should definitely be a free accommodation

I think we should just make the seating in airplanes roomier and god forbid if they can’t pack as many people on

As someone who’s 6’8 flying sucks lol. But I’m no different than other people so I feel like I should sit with everyone else although it would be nice to get that privilege. I just pray I always get the emergency exit seat and I’ve gotten it a few times.

As unfortunate as it is, that free upgrade to a seat with more room would just be used by severely overweight people. I’d support it for tall people and tall people only.

I don’t think people who are severely overweight are thinking of the societal “repercussions” of their actions lol Most people who are severely overweight just have an ED of some kind outside of some extreme cases

To clarify I disagree with #3 because that claim of theirs is rather dumb

Some people can have longer torso’s and some people can have longer legs. Another reason why being over 6’3 shouldn’t be considered a disability for accommodation bc this is a problem anyone can have depending on their anatomy
