I can relate to this fully.
For the last six years, i've traveled from the USA to Asia. My first flight wasn't that bad (hardly anyone on the plane). Afterwards, I realized I had to seriously do my homework before taking an airplane. I'm 6'1" (185 cm) and it's HARD finding a seat with leg room.
Budget airlines REALLY suck when it comes to convenience. Air Asia had the NERVE to charge me for water! Spirit airlines charged me a shit ton of hidden fees for bags.
These airlines are the absolute worst.
Based on what I read, i'll consider British Airlines in the future! Thanks for the testimonial!
The exit rows are sometimes slightly more spacious.
I'm SUPER thankful they give me the exit rows whenever I request it. My last flight back home, a super awesome flight attendant gave me the hook up. I hate being on a 12 hour flight and I have to deal with cramped space. :/
I find if you ask for an exit row, they MIGHT can work with you, especially if you're pleasant to them and smile.
Great information sir. Hope you can follow me someday :)
