Flying home from Vegas in 2010, a 3.5 hour flight IIRC, I got the middle seat between two guys my size. I'm 6'1" and 270 lbs. with broad shoulders. In most economy classes, my back is up against my seat and my knees have to be wedged into the seat in front of me. I hate it when flight attendants make me put my backpack under the seat in front of me (instead of under my knees) because it means my size 12 shoes have no place to be. My shoulders are wider than most economy class seats. I ended up sitting with my back turned by 45º just to fit between the two other gents my size. My back was sore for the rest of the day and I had random back spasms for the next three days after that flight.
