THERE are seatbelt extenders for people who are too big for the standard ones.
But what happens if you’re too wide for a standard aeroplane seat?
That’s the situation one woman finds herself regularly in.
The lady took to her BoBerry VIP TikTok account to explain how she gets around the seat width restrictions, telling her followers that some airlines have policies in place to help plus size people in that situation.
She also revealed that you’re often allowed to share seats if you’re travelling with someone significantly smaller than yourself, such as a child.
Or, if you’re booking a flight near to your travel date, the airline will sometimes let you know if the plane will be fairly empty, so that they can assign you two seats.
She also has to ask for an extra chair when she’s out for dinner.
In a video on TikTok, she showed how she had turned two chairs round to the side, so that she was sitting on the centre part of both of them.
She further explained in a post on Instagram: “‘And what can I get for you ma’am?’
“‘I’d like a …blah blah blah…. and an extra chair, please.’
“Don’t be afraid to make yourself comfortable! I ask for a 2nd chair pretty regularly and I’ve never been told no.
“In fact, at most places I go the response is more like… ‘of course!! An extra chair! I’ll grab one right away, why didn’t I think of that?’
“Asking might feel scary at first, but you’ll get over it when you’re enjoying your meal in comfort!
“Protect your happiness and your booty!!”
