How tall is he? Because if he's 7+ feet tall, I could understand avoiding economy
187 cm / 6 ft 1.6 in
6"1' could be uncomfortable for a long flight. I've heard of businesses approving business class travel for tall people (with a medical waiver) but the YouTuber does sound clickbaity.
I'm 6' and fly quite often in regular flights, probably a dozen or so times a year. Never have I thought "man I'm too tall for this, I don't want to fly"
