I'm sure many of you are probably tired of hearing of the Kevin Smith/Southwest saga, but the whole drama has me seriously freaked out. I'm flying in April and May (American and Delta respectively) and while I never gave one single thought about fitting into the airplane seats while booking, I now can't get it off my mind.

Needless to say I'm a little concerned, and I wish I had more to easy your concerns.
And that dress from Valentine's Day is AMAZING.
I do think you will be fine, I'm about an 18-20 and 5'4", if that tells you anything.

I flew American this past August and was approx. 260 lbs. I am 5'10" and carry most of my weight in belly and boobs. I was able to sit somewhat comfortably (you know, as far as airplanes go) in my seat without issue and without a seatbelt extender.
I do wonder though if I was sitting next to strangers, my experience would be different?

I wonder about this, too. I always fly with my thin-ish husband and I always take the window seat.

Pick an aisle seat for yourself and maybe have your boyfriend in the middle seat and you'll be fine. From your pictures and our similar size, I don't think you to worry about the flight and seats, instead you can look forward to your cruise.

I have a trip planned at the end of April/beginning of May and I'm considerably bigger. This has left me a bit worried; however, I will be happy to pay for a second seat if it's required and there is space. When I booked the tickets, I made sure my husband and I are sitting next to one another and that there are only two seats on that side of the aisle. This was one reason why I specifically wanted a specific flight.
I think you will be fine and I hope you have a fabulous time on your trip.
I suspect the situation with Kevin Smith may raise awareness of the need for some changes in how airlines handle these situations. At least we can hope so.
