    I would absolutely need space to get out of my seat and move around. I'm not particularly claustrophobic, but the psychological pressure of essentially needing to sit down and be quiet for 20 hours wouldn't be pleasant.

      After like 4 hours I'm pretty ready to get off the fucking plane. I don't think I could do 20 hours :(
