Not only recommended for tall people but also great for avoiding toddlers spending 7hrs kicking the back of the seat in front of them...their legs can't reach far enough
note to self...remember this

Do a search of the forum as well, maybe, as there was a great long thread about this subject a month or two back - plus some probs with TC??

we did zoom to toronto, was ok, bit shaby, staff were great, all on time. we did the upgradething s as husband is 6'3", and i am about that wide, seats were big enough with leg room etc etc. We had extra baggage too, a bow, so when she said do you have any weapons with you i said yes. we had wrapped it up well, they covered it in fragile labels and it appeared first of the plane at gatwick, all no problem

Hi , I'm 6'2" (36" inside leg) so legroom is always an issue for me!

Flew with zoom before and their seat pitch is 31" which is actually the same as BA so not great but can just about fit (as long as the guy in front doesn't recline). Flew Thomas Cook which was great as the pitch is 35". If you can upgrade then I would and I personally would not ever go near Air Transat (seat pitch 28" I think)
Those few little inches make all the difference
