Guest Robrn90 Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 Hi, I hope someone can help me!! My banding date is 5/23 in TJ. A friend asked me last night if I had to purchase 2 seats on the airline for the trip, she said at my size I might have to do that. Does anyone know the size restriction to fly?? I looked on AA website but it was real general and didn't give a specific weight or size.......Helpppppppp I don't want to get to the airport and no be able to get on my plane.

Hi Rob, I was afraid of the same thing. I know that Southwest is one of the only airlines that make you buy a second seat if you are a really large person. I know for a fact that I will have to ask for a seatbelt extender, but that's ok. I am flying Alaska because I know they are a good airline and have a bit more roomier than most others. Hope this helps. Judy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judy Thanks Judy, I have only flown a couple times and the last one was many years ago, back when I was young and life was fun Ha Ha! I hope AA is more like Alaskan than Southwestern then.

I could fit in the seats just fine and did not need even a seatbelt extender. I am 5'4 and was around 280 at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clynn Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 At my heaviest I was 318 and fly at least twice a year. Southwest has never asked me to buy a second seat or been anything less than courteous towards me. If people are still concerned about it, choose a flight which is unlikely to be full such as during the early am. Their policy is that if they ask you to buy a second seat and the flight is not full they will refund your money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
