Five day turn around with no time to visit family in CH. I'm 6' 5" @ 240# and have to fly coach. Kill me now!

On another note, when in Central OR (Madras) check out the Erickson Aircraft Collection, one of the better under the radar air museums out there. Came across it while on a bike tour no less.
I’m not quite your size but still tall so I feel your pain. I’ve flown across the Atlantic 8-10 times in the past year and I’ve been buying upgrades to ‘premium economy’ or whatever each airline calls it. It makes a huge difference and is usually around $100 so the price is worth it for me to get some actual sleep. Noise cancelling headphones and earplugs at the same time also help that cause.

Safe travels
