'I hate air travel with a passion': Why flying sucks when you're tallGETTY IMAGES There's a reason why tall people hate air travel. At 6-foot-10, the former NBA player has to squeeze himself into economy class seats, which isn't always possible. In a world of disappearing space on aircraft, tall passengers are coping by avoiding air travel, paying more for their seats or honing their negotiation skills. But a long-term solution may need to involve thoughtful government oversight or at least a joint effort by the airline industry to help its tall passengers. Thai may be an outlier, since it doesn't have a reputation for scrunching passengers into its economy class seats.
