> Been there, done that (6'2, Australia <-> Europe, multiple times). I couldn't agree more. The fact that there is no way to fully stretch my legs while seated is driving me nuts on such long flights.
Same boats for me exactly. My solution is just to get up and hang out in the aisle, or near the emergency exits whenever I feel like it. Sometimes I read standing up, I stretch, I even sit on the floor with my legs straight. I'm polite to the staff and other passengers, and I have never once had anyone tell me to stop what I'm doing.
It's great in the middle of the night when everyone else is asleep. An hour of stretching makes a BIG difference on those 14 hour back-to-back flights.
