Terrified I'm not going to fit on Southwest airplane

Post Body

I'm 5'3, 330 pounds. I've posted my pictures before so you know what size I am. I have severe anxiety and the thought of being kicked off the airplane for being too fat kills me. I don't want to miss out on my vacation. I'm flying to Las Vegas with my dad in a few weeks on a southwest airplane. I know now you can buy two seats but we've already purchased them and we are trying to save money for the trip(yes I know you get refunded) I'm considering approaching the desk and asking if I could have a second seat if there are any empty spots on the plane. My nightmare is being told "I'm sorry, you're too large to fly" and I ruin our vacation:(

I'm just ruminating alot over this, how I'll ask, what happens if I'm denied etc.

I have no idea if I'm considered large enough for the policy. What if it's full and there are no extra seats? Do I get kicked off? I can suffer for 2 hours, that's fine. I just don't want to be removed and shamed.

Anyone who has flown southwest and is close to or bigger than my size, I'd love to hear your experience. anything to give me some reassurance

You’ll be fine! :) I used to fly southwest to visit friends in LA! I was 340 but what I would do is when boarding ask the person that stands by the door for a seatbelt extender. They are more than happy to give that to you ! They’re really nice (: I hope you have fun on your vacation !💕
