Shudder. I'm 6'3", around 250 lbs. Even if I snag an aisle seat, and manage to luck or whine my way into one of the extra-legroom exit row seats (you can't reserve them without paying extra), any flight over 2-3 hours leaves me sore for a day.

I try really hard to avoid flying any more. It Just Ain't Any Fun, these days. If all the airline offered to where I needed to go, was a Hannibal Lector seat like that, it would be a non-starter.

As do I. Used to be, the drive faster than fly zone was about 250 to 300 miles. Now it is closer to 500 miles. Right now, I'm planning a trip across the big pond on the right coast so I have no choice.

Hi, Gary - in addition to all the other advice you've been getting, you might want to go on-line with keywords like "exercise while on plane". There are tons of sites. Here's just one of many.

So do get up often; walk the aisles all the way around the plane; go to the toilet and do standing exercises there, or in the back of the plane if the crew is sympathetic.

While seated, do some of the many exercises available on-line, some of which involve partially standing.

Good luck!

I like the idea of on-line exercises. You just read about them, right?

That's one version. Another takes the form of a cop asking you to get out of your car and walk one.
