Plus Size Forum

With a vey little planning, it is possible to make plus size travel more comfortable and memorable. Select seats that have extra space for your legs and seats that allow you to move easily. Request seatbelt extenders in case you need them, they are easily accessible on majority of airlines.

Make sure to wear stretchy clothing when traveling. Before the flight, check the policies of the airline you’re boarding. By taking such measures, you can reduce the stress and concentrate on having a good adventure.

It's advisable for plus-size to get aisle seats, which are easier to walk. So, you need to check the airline policy on the seat belt extensions before you book your flight.

Book for seats with enough space for your legs. They should probably be comfortable. You can also go with snacks in order to relax on flights.

I recommend seeing if the airline will offer you a free seat on the house for being plus sized. Some airlines are starting to do this for plus sized individuals. My wife got an extra seat whenever she flew to see a friend a few years ago. She flew Southwestern airlines so they do accommodations for plus sized people. She was also able to board the plane early too.
