QuietLion,
Do you have a physical disability that requires you to recline? I am between 6'4" and 6'5" and never have a problem riding 3-4 hours with my seat upright. I am astonished with people that never sit in a LazyBoy recliner jump into a cheap airline seat and slam it back like they are in heaven. I've come close to putting a few of them a little closer with my knees in their kidneys!
