I was so nervous that I'd get to the airport to check in and they'd tell me I needed to buy another seat and I'd have to come home (because really I couldn't afford the first one) and then everyone I know would say "how was your trip to Rome" and I'd have to say I didn't go because I was too fat. Eesh, can you imagine how awful that would be?<BR/><BR/>I think my weight was about where yours is and I'm 5'3" and I fit in the seat and the seatbelt fit around me. So I would say don't worry but I am sure you still will (I know I would).Karinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12352497704233545120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923813049383285532.post-37890387100234790332007-03-12T13:10:00.000+11:002007-03-12T13:10:00.000+11:00I weigh 262 pounds and I fit into the airplane sea...I weigh 262 pounds and I fit into the airplane seat. It's a bit snug, especially if you are sitting next to someone else who is the same size. You should be just fine. I always ask for the aisle seat so you have a bit more room to the side and for your feet.SuMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13172635282080978216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923813049383285532.post-14965778833496224062007-03-12T11:24:00.000+11:002007-03-12T11:24:00.000+11:00Oh no! This is something I take for granted - I've...Oh no! This is something I take for granted - I've never had any problem with fitting into a plane seat (thank you, Asian genetics o_0), though I've heard nightmare stories of people who have.<BR/><BR/>Its only a three hour flight to New Zealand from Melbourne, so I doubt that anyone next to you will be bothered too much - generally people are grumpier when the flight is much longer. For a three hour flight, I would be horrified if you were asked to buy two seats. On all of the flights I've been on to Australia, everyone swaps around and kids start running up and down the aisles - so hardly anyone stays in their seats anyway!<BR/><BR/>You could ask when you check in to be checked into an aisle seat or ask if you can be put right up the front where there are no seats in front of you so there is more space up front (we do this for my Mum, but because she is claustrophobic, and they're pretty accommodating) - you could probably ask them there what the drill is with seatbelt extenders as well, so that you know what to say when you get on the plane.<BR/><BR/>Or perhaps you could email the airline and ask, if asking them in person seems too daunting?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08229478994519987395noreply@blogger.com
