“Unbelievable or Admirable? Passenger Stands for Entire Seven-Hour Flight, Igniting Fierce Debate!”
A cybernaut replied: “Unexpected turbulence will beat you. Sit, with your belt on as much as you can.”
A commentator argued: “I think that sounds weird tbh. If you are going to stand, why not go to the galle, etc?

“It’s hard to explain but when people have been standing (in the aisle – I’ve never actually encountered it in a row!) and I’m in an aisle seat, it feels very intrusive and like my personal space is being invaded due to the feeling of having someone standing over me.
“I don’t think it’s very polite. Also, if there is sudden turbulence you could injure yourself (or more importantly) someone else if you are thrown into them.”
Another person added: “Last summer I was on a 3-hour flight where the dude behind me stood the entire flight.”

“It felt like he just hovering over my seat. Very awkward. Please do not be that guy.”
Standing periodically during a long flight can be beneficial for circulation and reducing the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), especially since prolonged immobility can lead to blood pooling in the legs, increasing clot risk.
According to the American Heart Association, walking around or stretching every hour or two, along with staying hydrated, helps maintain healthy blood flow.
