What would you guys rank as the most comfortable cockpit for long distance travel? I have flown a few high wing Cessnas, Navajo, aztec, Baron and KA. Never been in all the jet stuff but you seem to be confined to a specific leg area. I would rank the Navajo as my winner, followed by the aztec and then a 210.
What is yours?

Honestly I think the Bonanza / Baron is pretty darn good due to my body fitting in there well. That HondaJet was pretty comfy. I had no issues with the Cirrus either. Lear is cold and cramped, Mu2 is just so frightening

Merlin cockpit is very roomy, can kick my feet up on the co pilot seat if I want.

Cessna 421, quiet and roomy. Excellent visibility, and can turn and talk almost normally to back cabin folks.

I kinda like the seat in my extra wide body PA32. It got really comfortable right after I paid it off!

Plus, mine has the autopilot head in the panel, so nothing under the power lever quadrant. When I’m in cruise I can move a leg to the copilot side, arm across the copilot seat, and spread out... (I rarely fly with a copilot). Quite roomy. Attachment: 68B3DEC3-C33B-4DA8-AB6A-54C8035BEC05.jpeg
