I just thought of something? What if I need 2 seats? I'm 5'9, 285 lbs. Maybe I should just have extra money just to be safe.

I was bigger than you for sure and I traveled in one seat. If you're worried, ask the flight attendant for a seat belt extender when you board. Good luck!

I fit in one seat at 5'5'' and 285 with both arm rests down and no seat belt extender. I think you should be fine.

You mean travelling to Mexico? I would always suggest you travel with a card, or traveler's checks internationally!!!! and know where your nearest kiosk is, too.

I recently traveled Southwest, 5'6" 295lbs and fit fine and no seat belt extender needed. But as mentioned above, better safe than sorry. Good luck!

If you're still concerned, you can check the seat width for your specific plane type on seatguru.com

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
