(I'm 5'11", medium build; YMMV.)

This made me think that if I can't get into rows 15 or 16 on future flights, see if I can snag 13H.
When I was in my mid teens this was my strategy. I now know better.

And, by the way, I was involuntarily in 7B in December, and it isn't all that bad. 6 is pretty bad.
