Most airlines have extenders. I used to be quite heavy and a lot of my weight was around my abdomen. I was worried about it and the seat belt fit with about 5 inches to spare. Call ahead and try not to worry about it too much. I was worried sick that I would need an extender and be embarrassed. All worked out OK. Good luck.
p.s. I was 240 pounds (5ft 6") so I was quite heavy and it was no problem.

They have seat belt extensions that are available for plus size woman. Just ask the stewardess for one as you are entering the plane so it can be done discreetly and not to cause embarrassment to you. Be careful tho because some airlines will charge more because your are a cos (customer of size) Which I think is crap but some do not all. Good luck on your flight and remember just ask the stewardess when entering the plane.

It should fit. I've seen some men with pretty big bellies on planes before and they seemd to get the seatbelt around themselves.

I think they have seat belt extensions, but you'd have to ask the airlines you booked with. I was just on a plane, I'm not a large woman but I often wondered how they accommodated larger people. I'm sure they have something though!

If it doesn't, just ask the stewardess for a "seatbelt extender". (It is a length of belt that clips into the buckle, and has another buckle on the end.) Very easy.

Most airlines have extenders for your comfort, just ask the flight attendants they're usually very helpful. Hope you enjoy your trip,

I'm sure it will, if not, they allow you to purchase two seats (I believe there is a discount). However, to avoid the embarrasment of that, if need be, buy a coach ticket for the better seats, which are larger.
