I am 1.98m and this has gotten me jack do-do with regards to an exit row seat in Y on LH prior to check-in (note that I am a Senator on LH M&M). Prior to making 1P and 1K, I did not have any luck pre-confirming an exit row in Y, and I was tall then.
Couldn't anyone send a fax saying they were tall?
Nothing the OP posted indicates that they might be talll, freakishly or otherwise.
