Hi, I am going to be flying for a holiday in 7 months and I am both fat and really broad across the shoulders (I’m a man btw). Really nervous about getting into the seat without causing a scene. I think if I got asked to get off I would probably just die of embarrassment.

I have heard seats have got even smaller over the last few years. Without getting too personal can anyone give an idea of how round/wide is going to be too wide. It is a European short haul flight so I am expecting the worst. Anyone got some recent experience of squeezing in that could suggest some figures? How big does the standard seat belt go up to?

It is annoying because I am broader across the shoulders that the seats already so it just makes it more noticeable and immediately brings it to the attention of the person in the next seat.

Thanks
