Closed Travel Rights for Tall People

Closed on

This is a petition to ask the Government to bring into effect a badge or pass (similar to that disabled person might have in their car for parking) that people over a certain height can use for their travel needs.

I constantly find that when I travel, especially by air, to enjoy my flight/trip I have to pay an extra fee (quite often substanial compared to the cost of the flight) to sit in a " extra leg room" seat that can actually accomodate me.

I have been on numerous planes which simply do not accomodate for people exceeding a certain height and have had some extremely uncomfortable flights because someone else has already bought the "extra leg room" seats, which I feel I have a right to sit in, FREE OF CHARGE.

Please sign up to this petition to ask to Government to issue passes to tall individuals so that they can travel in the same comfort for the same cost as every other citizen.

Thank you.
