Magu, who is exactly 4'10, has a terrible time during flights because she's not tall enough to touch the ground while sitting, so her feet dange from the edge of the seat and her knees start to hurt really badly after a while
This happens to my short mother in law too.
But it also happens to me because I’m too tall to sit in any other position.
At least short people can like sit cross legged for a bit or curl up in the seat.

I don't understand how the thing I describe can happen to you, but yes, in the battle of who has the worst time flying coach, taller people win over shorties

Never seen an extremely tall person on a plane before now that I think about it. Tallest is probably like 6’3”?

Knees hurt from being in fixed position for a long time, too tall to move them around into other positions.

You know, if you just flew first class you wouldn’t have this problem.

Indeed. I can still handle coach on domestic flights.
