I elbow my way into the aisle because, like anyone over 6 feet, I don't fit comfortably into an airline seat and would dearly like to stand up. I would also like people to figure out how to get their bags out of the overhead and find their children before the aisle in front of them is clear, but I'll settle for being able to stretch.

- lostlogin 12y agoI thought I'd found the solution to the height + plane drama. I took a load of sleeping pills. Every time I woke up I took more. It got me from NZ to Europe feeling great, until the last 30 mins of the 30ish hour saga. I'd fallen asleep with crossed legs and my upper leg had cut return circulation off (I assume) and had gone red, swollen and painful. Somehow I limped off the plane. I think the strategy is great but DVT stockings are needed to prevent something like death occurring.
