It's a domestic flight just a few hours and I meant to upgrade seats to first class but didn't get to it in time they are sold out now. I can upgrade to Delta plus but I don't think the seats are bigger....wwyd? Main cabin is full so I cant buy an extra seat or hope for an empty one. My current seat is towards the front of main cabin and an aisle seat.


Hello Mr. Smith. Love your films.

I weigh more than you and wear a much bigger clothing size and I fit, so I expect you will be fine.

If you have a problem, you can ask the flight attendant for a seat belt extender. They carry them onboard and will be able to accommodate you.

Just be polite to the person that you are next to -- don't hog the armrest and don't spread your legs

I wear a size 20 and fly a few times a year. NBD. Have a fun trip and don't forget your chewing gum and trashy magazines!

Good advice for travelers of all sizes.

You'll be 100% fine as everyone said. I fly Delta and usually upgrade to economy plus. For me (a bit bigger) it's worth the extra legroom. You also get better snacks...like whole fruit and stuff like that. Plus they're a tad nicer to you if you get sick and need to bolt to the first class bathroom which happened to me on a recent flight...but I digress. For me, if the flight is longer than a couple hours, the extra legroom is worth the extra cost. (And remember it's not just legroom, it's boob room too. But then maybe you're not chesty like me.)

Yup. I am 5'4 and about 215. I wear a 16/18 and don't have issues.

I'm a size 18/20 and fit in the seats just fine. My complaint is that I'm tall, and have long legs. I upgrade to the "middle" upgrade (not coach but not first class) because those extra inches for me make a HUGE deal.

You'll be fine. I started needing a seatbelt extender somewhere between size 20 - 22 (and I carry a lot of my weight in my hips/lower abdobmen).
