If you’re six foot-seven, you may expect flying to be somewhat uncomfortable. But at least one recent passenger asked a flight attendant if he could stand in the aisle.
And that’s how he spent a two-and-a-half hour Spirit flight from Chicago to Florida — with the exception of take-offs and landings, according to WLS-TV.
Other tall passengers can relate.
Tom Molk, who is an inch shorter at 6 feet-6 said:
“Every flight is uncomfortable. I love layovers because I get to stretch and walk a little bit.”
Is this the case for all tall people?
In a statement, Spirit Airlines said: "We do offer the option of exit row seating and our big front seats for customers who prefer more leg room. We do not require customers to stand during flight."
The Federal Aviation Administration is now looking into whether Spirit should have done something other than let him stand.
