How can I be sure air plane seats are large enough?

MY husband and I are both very large people. We are planing a trip using travelosity for our flight and lodging. I am concerned about our plane seats not being large enough. Is there any way to secure larger seats? Please help!!!|||Aircraft seats are built to maximize the amount of people that can fit on any given aircraft. Because of that, they are not large or comfy. They are built with the "average height and weight" in mind. If you are looking for "larger seats" I would buy a first class ticket. They are wider and offer more leg room than coach. This option may not be available if you are flying on a commuter plane, as they do not have a first class cabin.





The other option is to purchase 2 coach seats side by side. The airline I work for mandates this if you are too large for one seat. If it's just leg room you are looking for then book a seat in an exit row.





Booking flights through travelocity may get you a deal, but they can not answer any direct questions about the airline you are flying on. For information call the airline directly and a customer service agent will be happy to answer your questions.





I hope this information helps.|||buy first class.





i might be wrong but some carriers may charge you for an extra seat if you're too large|||Pay double, or if you don't get stuck your ok|||First class might have larger seating. They definitely have more space, but not sure if the seat itself is larger.|||Book on a cargo airline, not a passenger one.|||If you think economy class seats are unbearably small, you might have to fly in business class or first class. However, not all seats are created equal, not even in the same class. Go to seatguru.com and find the seat map for the aircraft you're flying on. It tells you which seats have extra legroom, reduced legroom, extra recline, reduced recline, increased width, etc.|||I'd suggest making a phone call to the airline company you plan on flying with and asking for measurements. I'm sure if you called in advance, they would be able to get you the information before your trip.|||book four conecting seats|||first class is roomier. good luck.|||well they are pretty small, I would talk to the airline where you plan on booking your trip with.


The seat in the exit row have extra leg room|||You can generally find out what type of plane you'll be flying on when you book your flight; and then usually on the airline's website you can find the specifications of that plane, including the size of the seats. Personally I would recommend Midwest Airlines, as their seats are incredibly comfortable.|||there is no such thing as a "larger" seat...just call the airline and explain it to them...they will be able to help you out better than we can|||depending on what airline and aircraft, you could call the airline and ask and if your too big you can buy 3 connecting seats and raise the armrests for the two of you.|||...if you have to ask... you're probably too large! They are like bucket seats in a Miata.





I'm 6 foot 1, lean at 190 and economy seats are uncomfortable for me, my knees hit the seat in front of me, my shoulders are wider than the arm rests, I can't get comfy no matter how much I drink! I go eco plus whenever possible.





if you are large in the tall sense, you'll want economy plus or business class to be comfy. If you are fat, you should go in first class, or buy 3 seats in a row.





The economy plus seats won't do you much good if you're fat, they are still slim (just more leg room).|||Get weighed in near the baggage scale
