How tall is he? Because if he's 7+ feet tall, I could understand avoiding economy

6"1' could be uncomfortable for a long flight. I've heard of businesses approving business class travel for tall people (with a medical waiver) but the YouTuber does sound clickbaity.

I'm 194cm and am fine on long flights in economy.

I mean are you though? I'm 188cm and am definitely not happy in a long economy flight, not that there's much of a choice for me financially. But, I also have wide shoulders and that's honestly probably more aggravating than my knees brushing the seat in front of me if I think about it.

Much rather catch a bomb with your face than fly economy.

Apparently he is in Singapore trying to get to Sweden. But with Russian and now Middle Eastern airspace off limits to air traffic, Europe to Asia routes are about to get incredibly difficult and expensive.
