A man has been praised for his reaction to a fellow plane passenger who was trying to invade his leg room space on a flight.
The holidaymaker took to social media forum Reddit to ask the online community if he had handled the situation in the correct way. In explaining the row, the man said he was on a four-hour flight, and given his 6'5" (196cm) stature, he was crammed into a seat on an economy flight.
When the woman in front of him tried to recline her seat, she realised she couldn't due to his knees being pressed up against the back of her chair.
After a dirty look and another failed attempt, he apologised to the woman and said he couldn't move his legs without "encroaching" onto the space of others.
She accused him of doing it on purpose and insulted him, saying he should "pay extra" for a seat with more leg room. He felt that those who recline their seats are "inconsiderate", and asked Reddit for their opinion.
Writing on the website, the anonymous man said: "I am around 6'5 or 196 cm, but my legs are long. Normally I purchase economy plane seats because I have no issue being uncomfortable for a while, especially for shorter flights.
"I should mention that I take care to never intrude on other people's space around me, although occasionally with another tall person with wide shoulders it can be tight.
"Last week, I was on a four-hour international flight with my knees crammed into the seat in front of me. The passenger directly in front of me tried to recline, but realized that my knees were preventing her from doing so.
"She turned around, gave me a dirty look, and attempted to recline again with more force.
"I was a little annoyed, but apologized and told her I could not move my legs out of the way without encroaching on
