Couldn't agree more. My husband is the same height as you are, and I'm almost 6' myself. We can usually get bulkhead/exit row seats by pleading our case at the ticket counter (they only have to look at us to see we need those seats), but when we cannot, it angers me beyond belief to see people who do not NEED those seats taking them. On a recent flight to Portland, my husband was so uncomfortable and could not extend his legs or straighten out his knees that he had trouble getting up at the end of the flight (and he's only 33 years old!). At least people reclining into him isn't a problem, because his knees completely block them from being able to do so.

I hate flying. It causes so much anxiety. But I do it a lot anyway.
