SoCalDixieGal 172 Posted January 25, 2013 I fly nearly every week and the belts are always a bit different. Sometimes I have lots of extra space, sometimes not so much! Ask when you get on, as recommended above. Be comfortable. . . .because kinda like the elephant in the room . . . we're not in disguise. Fellow passengers know we're overweight. There's no hiding that! So, why be uncomfortable. Especially on the return flight - you're not going to want a seatbelt cutting across your lap with healing incisions. The attendants do not make a big deal about handing them to you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
