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. :)

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 flew AA when I went out for my surgery. 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.

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.
