Airplane anxiety, just venting



Recommended Posts

I am flying to my surgery in a few weeks and the thought of asking the flight attendant for a seatbelt extender is MORTIFYING. So I bought one from Amazon and I will discreetly click it into place when I sit down. I also got an aisle seat so I can kind of lean into the aisle and not squish the stranger beside me.

It scares me too! American Airlines, spirit and jetblue seems to have bigger seatbelts in my experience. Good luck with your flight. You'll be fine especially with that extender!

I flew regularly while needing seat belt extenders. I finally bought my own (4x the cost of the Amazon link above, but it was pre-Amazon), but seriously, the flight attendants are always discrete and no one ever cared.

I don’t think you can officially be seated in an exit row with an extender, but that’s the only restriction.

Congrats — I was excited when I out-shrank the need for an extender!
