And the armrest easily lays down with no saddle bags overflowing in the next seat!! YAY!

I hate flying, but this really really takes some stress off.

I love this post!!!!! Congrats!

SO AWESOME! I can't wait to be able to ride in a plane and not have to deal with an armrest that won't stay down.

This is great stuff...what's funny is I still approach all sitting situations strategically looking for the roomiest booth in a restaurant, the width of a seat ride at Disneyland, and of course, the dreaded plane seat...and I no longer have to worry about it! It's still programmed into my brain and it's a huge celebration every time it happens (it hasn't gotten old yet!). Congratulations!

Leaving on a short trip Monday and this is the first flight since I lost 66 lbs. will be great not to ask for a seat belt extender. I am looking forward to the flight.

I can't wait to go on a roller coaster again!!!! Cedar Point better be ready for me!!

I have to fly next month for the first time 3 years. I'm also really tall 6'1", so coach has always been torture for me and I will always upgrade if possible. I hope I will have a better experience and fit my wide ass in the seat! It's still tbe biggest part of me, other than my ego, and always will be!

Great post. I just flew for work last week since losing 60 pounds... I could actually cross my legs during the flight (yes, in coach!). I could put my purse under the seat in front of me and get it out during the flight with no problems. Skipping the complementary Diet Coke for Water almost brought me to tears but so did crossing my legs and I'll take those happy tears any day! Here's to a lifetime of comfortable travel.
