When getting there is half the fun

Traveling through a world built for other body types can be frustrating and physically grueling especially on a tighter budget, so The Height Site created this section devoted to taller travel.

Flying While Tall
The Height Site can't recommend a favorite airline because in any given situation, any airline can be a villain or a saint to the taller traveler. The bottom line of your airlines' performance depends on the airport staff, the airline staff, and the airline crew on duty at the time you check into the airport and those working your aircraft.

Check our tall flyers page for information about flying while tall, especially when finding (and keeping) more legroom in the air--»

Things to consider

Here are a few things to think about as you plan your next getaway. If you have any suggestions that might be useful to taller travelers, please let us know!

Making Memories
Purchase enough film before you leave home if you're going to a tourist location where it can be quite expensive. Put it in a clear ziplock bag (preferably in clear film canisters) and hand it to security at the airport. They can easily identify it as film and it won't be damaged by the x-ray machines.

Bringing Mementos
It's always a great idea to take some stuff to give away as you travel. Business cards, pens, souvineers, hats and shirts from home. You never know when you might meet someone you’d like to give something to. Making friends is one of the best reasons for traveling. Sharing more than memories can help you make new friends no matter where you go.
