On a flight from Chicago to Fort Myers, Fla., Brooks Anderson realized that he wasn't just too tall to slide into the airline's small coach seat comfortably; at 6 feet, 7 inches, he was too tall to fit in it at all.
"I was in an aisle seat, and I clearly didn't fit into the seat at all," Anderson, 25, told ABC News. "I couldn't even stuff myself in there." The lanky passenger asked the crew if he could stand for the 2 1/2-hour flight, so he at least wouldn't be in physical pain.
According to ABC News, Spirit Airlines seats have slightly less room, on average, than seats on other carriers. The airline does offer seats with more leg room, but customers can expect to pay extra for them.
Anderson said he plans to take the issue up with the Federal Aviation Administration.
