This forum seems almost deserted, but can anyone speak to their experiences flying while fat? I flew several months ago, but with my toddler in the next seat. Otherwise, I would have slopped over onto a stranger. I am just too fat for one seat, the armrest barely went down and I had to ask for a seatbelt extender for the first time in my life. I am flying to mx for my surgery, and will probably just purchase two seats for myself. Do any of you have a preferred airline or any good/bad experiences you're willing to share?

I always hated that, but I'm the type not to be ashamed of who I am so I always asked if there was an empty seat anywhere and If i could trade seats with the person next to that empty seat. Ask the flight attendent. Dont let it bother you. It's more comfortable for you and the other passengers. Or if there is an empty seat ask the person next to you if they would like to move to the empty seat to be more comfortable. That way you don't have to be the one moving for everyone to see. That's what I always did... I no longer have to!

Good Luck on you Surgery

Deserted? Hardly!
