Airplane Question

I am flying in about a month and a half and realized something last night that kind of worries me. In the past, at 324, I needed a seatbelt extender. I am now 245, with hopes to be around 230-235 when I fly. people that weight, did you need a seatbelt extender? I know there are variables, but just curious.

I didn't need an extender at that weight. I usually fly Southwest.

I flew at 275 last and didn't need one. It really depends on the airline though. I've been in some small-belted planes! (Once I just didn't buckle because I was too ashamed to ask for an extender)

Here's a little secret. You can upgrade to first class for $50 on most airlines. You just have to wait until 24 hrs before the flight. That's what my wife in I did when we flew home from TJ after my surgery. That was I nice ride home.

You should be just fine. I flew at 293 and didn't need one. :)

I am 5'9" and I flew at 315... I didn't need one at that size.
