What airlines have the widest seats? – There are seat regulations that must be followed – according to FFA regulations seats must be at least 16 inches wide. At this moment in time, all US airlines offer more than the federal minimum width. Southwest offers a 17.5 inch seat in standard economy, which isn’t the widest out of all the US airlines, however, Southwest is the most generous airline when it comes to flying as a plus size.

Passengers who require extra room can purchase another seat at the time of booking and receive the money back after contacting customer service. The airlines with the widest seats among US airlines are JetBlue Airways and Silver Airways.18 inches wide. Spirit Airlines’ average economy seat has a width of 17.75 inches.

Can a 400 pound person fit in an airline seat?

FAT ISSUES IN THE AIR – There is no legal weight limit for passengers on U.S. commercial flights but some airlines such as Southwest ask customers who cannot fit into one seat to book two. It says if a passenger cannot lower the armrests on one set they must buy another – whatever they weigh.

The second seat’s price is refunded if the flight does not oversell, says consumer website Smarter Travel, which advises big passengers to travel off-peak. Mr Berkowitz has been flying with US Airways for 50 years, he said. He added that there was a young exchange student from Eastern Europe on the same row as him who was ‘pinned up against the window’ by the obese man because there was so little space.

Flight attendants whom he told about the problem said they could not help him as he was not allowed to sit in their jump seats. ‘They were sympathetic, but could not do anything,’ he told elliott.org. ‘No other seats existed on plane.’ Mr Berkowitz claims they admitted their gate agent had made an error in allowing the passenger to board without having bought two seats. New policy: AirTran – part of Southwest Airlines – announced last month it will begin forcing fat passengers on its planes to buy a second seat from next March US Airways has since apologised for the ‘regrettable’ incident. A statement said: ‘Our intention is to offer the best travel experience possible.

‘The details you have provided indicate that we have failed to meet our intentions.’ It offered Mr Berkowitz a $200 voucher in compensation. ‘I didn’t fly from Alaska to Philadelphia on Flight 901. I stood’ Arthur Berkowitz But he called this ‘inappropriate’ after paying more than $800 for the ticket.

He also complained the airline has not fixed the safety issue. ‘I reviewed his case and agreed with him that US Airways might want to take another look at his complaint,’ Mr Elliott wrote on his blog. ‘I mean, leaving a passenger with no alternative but to stand for almost seven hours – if that’s true, then this might be one of those rare cases when a full refund is in order.’ Mr Berkowitz told MailOnline he raised the issue primarily because he wants the airline and authorities ‘ to develop a policy on safety’.

Which airline has the comfiest seats?

A new study ranks domestic airlines on features including leg room, entertainment, and food. Shutterstock Flying these days can be a serious headache for commercial air travelers. Think steerage-like conditions and à la carte tickets devoid of even the basic dignities—and that’s before even mentioning the stresses caused by mass flight cancellations and delays.

But not all airlines are created equal when it comes to providing (or depriving) comfortable experiences for passengers. A new report from WalletHub used available data to analyze the best and worst airlines in terms of overall service quality and functional performance. The analysis looked at the nine largest national airlines as well as two regional carriers (that report to the Department of Transportation because they have at least 1 percent of total domestic scheduled-service passenger revenues) in terms of 16 key metrics across four major categories.

In the comfort category, the study assigned points to airlines in areas including leg room, entertainment options, Wi-Fi availability, the availability of complimentary refreshments, and price. (The data set included costs in relation to in-flight amenities for the sake of fairness in evaluating the value as a whole.) At the bottom of the list were the no-frills carriers Spirit and Frontier (which also ranked as the most affordable). Shutterstock American Airlines took the no.6 spot on the list with a comfort score of 4 out of 5. This represents a decline from its 2021 score of 4.5, and an even more sizeable slide from its 2019 high of 4.63. iStock Demonstrating the level of competition among some of the key players in domestic commercial aviation, United is among four airlines that tied for the no.2 spot on the list, offering similar comfort features for passengers. The carrier scored 4.5 out of 5 for comfort, matching its score over the previous two years of data. SkyCaptain86/iStock Southwest is among four airlines in a tie for the second-place spot on the list. The carrier scored 4.5 out of 5 for comfort, matching its score over the previous two years of data. This number is slightly less than its score from the three previous years, when Southwest pulled in a 4.63 score for comfort. Shutterstock Alaska Airlines is among the four that tied for the no.2 spot on the list. It comes in with a score of 4.5 out of 5 for comfort, as it has done consistently over the last three years of data. This number represents a small decrease from the three previous years, when Alaska scored 4.63 for comfort. iStock Delta Air Lines came in with a share of the no.2 spot on the list. Its high marks have been consistent over the last three years of data. However, they represent a slight dip from the three previous years, when Delta scored marginally higher for its comfort offerings. iStock The study found JetBlue to be the most comfortable airline based on the metrics. The carrier led the pack in terms of in-flight experience, offering free amenities such as Wi-Fi, extra legroom, and complimentary snacks and beverages. In fact, JetBlue’s perfect 5.0 score remained consistent across the six years of data presented in the report.

What are the roomiest seats on a plane?

The seats with the most legroom – Legroom on airlines is measured in seat pitch, which is the distance between a point on one seat and the same point on the seat directly in front of it. In comparison to the average seat pitch of the 1960s, which was 35 inches, some airlines (such as Spirit Airlines) have reduced their pitch to as low as 28 inches.

On the higher end, airlines such as JetBlue and Southwest offer 32 inches. If optimal legroom is what you’re looking for, not just any economy seat will do. Depending on the airline and airplane configuration, bulkhead seats —seats located in the first row after a dividing wall or galley—typically have the most legroom than any other seat on the plane, though be aware you won’t have access to underseat storage.

Meanwhile, exit row seats typically have more legroom than the average seat; however, not all exit row seats recline.

What is the maximum weight to fit in an airplane seat?

Is there a weight or size limit for airline passengers? Dear Reader, There is no set weight limit for passengers on commercial flights in the U.S., but some airlines, most notably Southwest, require customers who cannot fit in one seat to book a second.

Southwest uses the armrest as a gauge: When a passenger cannot lower the armrests on a single seat, he or she is required to purchase another, regardless of his or her actual weight.

If the flight does not oversell, the airline will refund the price of the second seat.
These rules are controversial, but Southwest has stood by its policy despite several unsuccessful lawsuits against it.

Guidelines for this policy are listed on the, If you’re booking an economy seat on any airline and are worried about not having enough room:

Call the airline you wish to fly and ask about passenger size regulations. Request an aisle seat, and ask the airline to leave the adjoining seat empty if the flight does not fill up. Fly at off-peak times (midweek and midday), when your chances of getting on a flight with some empty seats are better.

If cost isn’t a major issue, consider flying in first or business class, where you’ll find significantly wider seats, not to mention more legroom. We hand-pick everything we recommend and select items through testing and reviews. Some products are sent to us free of charge with no incentive to offer a favorable review.

Are there fat flight attendants?

Other Flight Attendant Requirements – Some other requirements for Flight Attendants include:

English Fluency: If you want to be a Flight Attendant in an English speaking country such as America, Canada, UK etc, you will need to be fluent in English. Also if you apply to become a Flight Attendant for Qatar, Etihad or Emirates you will need to pass an English test at the Assessment Day as English is the language spoken in these airlines, despite being based in Arabic countries, as the majority of passengers communicate in English and English is the language of aviation. You do not need to know Arabic language to apply to work in one of these 3 Middle Eastern airlines. Citizenship/Ability to legally work in that country: Some airlines require you to be a citizen of that country to be able to work as a Flight Attendant (for example at Virgin Australia you need to hold Australian or NZ citizenship or Permanent Residency). The same applies in the United States – you will need to be a US Citizen or a legal resident alien (Permanent Resident). When you apply for Qatar, Emirates and Etihad, if you are accepted as Cabin Crew you will be granted rights to legally work in that country. Passport: As obvious as it sounds, you will need a valid passport to become a Flight Attendant. Criminal background test: At some point in the Flight Attendant hiring process you will be required to provide a criminal background check. Drug Test: Airlines expect you to pass a pre-employment drug screen as well as be subject to random drug and alcohol testing in the future prior to your operational duties. Bear in mind certain drugs such as marijuana can stay in your system for a lot longer than alcohol can. Flight Attendants are encouraged not to smoke, and if they are smokers they shouldn’t be seen smoking in their uniform before or after a flight when at the airport. Ability to swim: You need to be comfortable swimming as you never know if you will have to swim in the sea for survival. Your ability to swim without a lifejacket will be tested during your training, so at least you have time to practice and gain confidence if you don’t have it already. Eyesight: Eyesight doesn’t need to be 100% and Cabin Crew are permitted to wear contact lenses or glasses. They must carry a spare pair of glasses with them onboard, so make sure you have them if you require glasses or contact lenses! Teeth Braces: Invisalign braces are permitted, so long as they aren’t visible.

Good communication and customer service skills: Whilst this isn’t a physical requirement, it is definitely a requirement recruiters are looking for when they are recruiting for Flight Attendants. Airlines need Flight Attendants that are friendly, caring, understanding and have great people skills. Flight Attendants are often seen as the face of the organisation, so they need to have excellent interpersonal skills and an ability to communicate with a wide range of people. Many of the tasks on the Assessment Day will be to assess how well you can interact with others. Passionate for travel and able to adapt to new situations: With some Flight Attendant jobs you will need to move to a new city or country, and will need to adapt being away from home and your friends and family. You will also need to be okay with being away from your base for a few days at a time sometimes.

What size is too big to fly?

What size should your carry-on luggage be? – On domestic flights within the United States, a carry-on bag that’s smaller than 22 x 14 x 9 inches (45 linear inches), including handles and wheels will meet the size restrictions of all major airlines, such as United Airlines and Alaska Airlines.

Although some airlines, notably Southwest and Spirit Airlines, will allow a bag up to 50 linear inches, it’s a good idea to look for a bag that’s around 45 linear inches or smaller if you’re shopping for a new carry-on (and will likely use it on multiple different airlines).
The size limit varies more widely on non-U.S.

airlines, but unless you’re flying on say, a small island-hopper in the Azores, 45 linear inches or smaller will allow you to meet the requirements of just about all of them.
