Default Legroom

We are planning a round the world trip over Christmas/New Year.
I am 6'4" tall and always have legroom problems in economy class.
I have found out that American, Air France, Lufthansa and Air Canada have
more legroom than other airlines.
The only fixtures in our itinerary are London (departure point), Sydney and
New Zealand. Otherwise, we are flexible.
Cost is not the main issue, though I cannot afford to travel business class.
Does anyone have any advice for me? Airlines to use, ways to secure an
emergency exit seat or upgrade, etc.
Thanks,
Howard


When I flew, they were very concerned about DVT. I'm only 6', but I was
able to request a seat with extra legroom such as near the emergency etc
if I mentioned that. That occurred with Qantas (twice) and BA. I was
advised that it was wise to ask at booking time, because it's basically
first in best dressed.

That was in Mar-Jul last year. Policy may have changed, but it's worth
checking.

Cheers, Alan
