Flying While Fat

There is one question I get asked more than any other and that is what do I recommend for flying while fat. While there are a lot of different airlines that are absolutely wonderful the only one I can personally recommend that has a committed program that’s been in place for 30+ years is Southwest due to their Customer of Size Program.

Flying as a plus size person is scary. I completely understand that. But it doesn’t have to be. Southwest makes it so much easier to avoid that embarrassment and make sure you have the space unique.

The only thing I really don't like is that if 2 people "of size" are traveling together, you either don't get what you pay for or you can't sit together. My wife and I are both large and Southwest has 3 seats on the left and 3 seats on the right. What I would love to be able to do is if the person you are traveling with is "of size" and or there is another "person of size" on the flight, they should give you the option of splitting the cost of the extra seat. One of you sits in the isle seat and the other sits in the window seat and you can both spread out into the middle seat. It really isn't that hard to do.

I had no idea about Southwests Customer of Size policy. This makes me more confident to fly.

Most Airlines don't have this policy but expect a plus sized passenger to pay for the extra seat to ensure that the plus sized passenger gets the two seats together and the Airlines aren't out of pocket . This is a reasonable solution for plus sized passenagers and it makes sure that the second seat can't be sold to another passenger .

I haven't flown since 2010 when I was a smaller size, but I finally flew in 2023 and was so nervous. But I flew southwest and I was able to get the extra free seat on all 4 of my flights which was great. So my hubby & I were very comfortable

Thank you. I've been watching videos for the past hour because I was tired after a long work week. After seeing this I'm closing my laptop, walking the dogs and hitting the Bowflex.

Hi "sweetheart". This was actually a helpful video. Thanks for posting it. And I've found the same thing about Southwest.

I usually try to upgrade to business class especially on international flights.

Domestic if it’s not possible I have never had an issue with getting a second seat or having a seat left open next to me on any airline for the most part.

What about international flying? How do you deal with going from the bigger planes going from bigger cities to smaller planes into smaller cities?

I’m flying SW next week & didn’t know about their customer of size policy when I was booking. Guess I’ll have to go to the gate agent & see if I can be upgraded 🤷🏻‍♀️

I believe, the extra seat is only refunded it the flight is not full and your extra seat would have gone empty anyway. If the flight is full or over booked, no refund.

So even if someone else wants to buy your extra seat, you will still get your second seat and get a refund and Southwest loses money? Hmm. Southwest.
