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 |

From what I can tell the European airlines are the stingiest of all with legroom. Certainly the Lufthansa flights I've been on recently had my knees jammed firmly into the seat in front of me. miguel -- Hit The Road! Photos and tales from around the world: http://travel.u.nu |

But I guess it all depends on whether you've got long legs or a long trunk. Peter. |
