My first post. A few years ago coming back from Florida we thought we had hit the jackpot when we were upgraded for free to extra leg room seats. We were in the middle, just behind the entry door with a bulkhead in front of us. Partner was 6 months pregnant at the time.

It was an overnight flight so reclined my seat back a bit, to be growled at 'there is a 90 year old behind you'. Spent the entire journey in agony sat upright and exhausted on arrival. This was not helped by one lady in particular who was obvioulsy very worried about DVT becuase every 30 minutes she would do a lap of the plane, stepping on my feet on the way!

This is the reason (together with said preggers producing a now 3 year old) we have not attempted longhaul again!
