Easy Jet - Question regarding seat belt sizes & obesity?
Saucy D asked:
I am aware of the seat sizes on Easy Jet flights (44cm width) but wondered if anyone had any experience of the seat belt sizes? I am travelling with someone who is a UK size 24 and is concerned about being able to do the belt up. This person managed on a SpanAir flight, but Easy Jet is notoriously smaller.
Any helpful comments appreciated, any rude comments will be reported. Thank you.

Seatbelts can fit even the most morbidley obese among us.

Well it is a serious question…. a friend of mine is big and needed a seatbelt extension…. but he is BIG… They supply those no probs, and would be discreet about supplying it if thats a problem… The seats are thin, but you can always put the armrest up between the two of you for extra comfort.

Some airlines in the US will require extremely obese people to purchase two tickets. This is not just to make money from them being overweight, but it is because large people tend to take up some of the room of adjacent seats, which is unfair to the passenger seated there.
You should check with the airline on this policy.
I don’t think though that a size 24 would be considered that overweight, so your friend shouldn’t have problems. But best to check anyway.

If the regular seat belt doesn’t fit they will use the seat belt that is used during the demonstration as a seat belt extender.
The demo seat beat has both connectors on it and fits into the ends of the regular seat belt in the seat.
Some airlines may try to charge for two seats.
