Seatbelt Extensions

Oct 11, 2010

I was on a business trip last week and as I pulled out my own seatbelt extension on the puddle jumper flight, I had  to blink back tears as I realized that this was the last trip that I would need it.

As an obese person who has to travel for work, 2 things fill me with dread like almost nothing else:   the site of a turnstile and airplane seatbelts that don't fit around my belly.  Several years ago, I was on a smaller aircraft and the seatbelt would not buckle. I refused to ask for an extension in front of several of my co-workers so I did not fasten my seatbelt.  When I got home, I ordered my own online and always have it in my carryon and have used it several times over the years.

But not anymore. In 5 weeks I will have the surgery that will change my life and the beginning of the end of my fear of turnstiles and airplane seatbelts kicks off.

Anyone need a seatbelt extension?
