Leg Room

I am 6'4" short with a 34+" inside leg measurment. When travelling long haul I always (in advance if possible) request a seat with extra leg room but am usually unlucky. My last trip, JFK to LHR was so uncomfortable that I have now given up long haul trips, I just can't face them. (Last year Her Indoors Who Must Be Obeyed At All Times Without Question) went to Canada on her own to see her family). My argument is this; Airlines must, quite rightly, make special arrangements for handicapped passengers. I feel that similar arrangements should be put in place for folks in my situation. My height is not my fault and I have no other , self - imposed, size problems - I am in proportion for my height at around 15 stone. I would be interesetd to hear other folks views, especially airline proffesionals, as to how I stand (no pun intended) as I feel that I am missing out unfairly.

Thanks, Del
