coexist23 82 Posted October 4, 2012 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JerseyGirl68 1,172 Posted October 4, 2012 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! 1 Livinglifeout reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
traceyc 89 Posted October 4, 2012 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lisalalani 81 Posted October 4, 2012 I traveled from Springfield, MO to Minneapolis, MN in August. I am 5'4" and I was 340-ish and I only needed 1 seat AND I didn't need an seat belt extender!!! Happy Dance! Good Luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chelbroyer 10 Posted October 4, 2012 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
