I too am on the curvier side, although I haven't had to ever ask for extenders etc. What I do find is that some aircraft seatbelts have the end you clip the belt into so short and almost under the armrest, so that when I clip up, the mechanism is now under the armrest, and I worry that in an emergency I'd take a few seconds longer than I need to get it undone.

It's not just us bigguns that are seat hogs. I've lost count of the amount of times I've had the man/woman sitting next to me elbows in my ribs, or even people sitting somewhat sideways with legs crossed and therefore feet into my footwell. Mostly though I've had more often than not, men beside and behind me oggling at what being squeezed into a seat does to ones cleavage! LOL!!

I concur that this could and should be a helpful thread, without having to resort to what I can only describe as appalling abuse from keyboard warriors. Well done Mr Moderator
