I highly recommend compression socks also a large scarf is very versatile. Somehow my body shape is not comfortable with the height of the armrests, I like to have a large purse or backpack in my lap for a more comfortable resting of my arms, may not apply to all.

Wow! That's crazy. So sorry that happened to you. Situations like that is why I brought my own seatbelt extender.

Southwest was horrible about it. Was traveling for work and my extender didn’t work. They were very inconsiderate and I will never fly with them again because of it. I don’t mind on my own, but was with two people from work

It is just that they have believe in yourself and be confident in order to feel happy, blessed and awesome for nature has made them unique in the whole world which should be enough of motivation for you towards living life to the fullest.

Delta uses a Type B extender so if you fly with them frequently buy that one. Also I know everyone raves about the aisle but after a recent trip the aisle was irritating as everyone headed to the restroom brushed against me so that kinda sucked. I much rather be tucked away by the window. I'm pretty tall and while legroom on most flights wasn't an issue, I will admit bulkhead seating or wing seating offered the most legroom.
The stewardesses are very discreet about the extenders and palmed it to me on the sly like a grandpa tipping a valet. I liked having the freedom to breathe.
Bottom line flying sucks for everyone big or small... Better to slam a cocktail then get on with it.

@A Marie Thank you and yes, such a good point. When I ordered the seat belt mentioned in the post I realized that it wan't going to work for every airline.

Great tips but I have one comment. Seat belt extenders can vary by airline so be sure to check the item description before you purchase!!

Great tips -- can you recommend some outfits for travel? I always try to wear a blazer, because I trend to travel more for business than vacay. Travel outfits for us would be a great blog -- not just summer travel, but international travel as well... Also can you do a blog post on packing--I struggle with overpacking even for work trips... just a few suggestions-- keep the info coming!!!

Arm rests on aisle seats can be raised on some planes.
Luggage with rollerblade wheels--so much easier to maneuver. You can roll it and not have to pull it.
