Most will sell you two seats if you need them.
Sometimes I share flights in SoCal or AZ, in small planes, so you might be able to get your own pilots license or hook up with some pilots in your area that have extra space.

I'm big and yes, I've flown on airliners comfortably. When I flew from O'Hare back to Philadelphia, coming home from a stay in Oklahoma, I flew on an Airbus A319, quite comfortable. The shorter routes, you're usually stuck with a Canadair RegionalJet or Embraer which are very small, seat-wise. Usually if you book through a travel agent, the airline, or Travelocity/Orbitz they will tell you what type of plane you'll be flying on. And if you need a seatbelt extender, just ask when you board, and your flight attendant will get you one.

Go to http://www.seatguru.com and look up the aircraft and airline you are flying on. You'll be able to see how big the seats are. Some of the smaller planes like the Canadair Regional Jets (CRJ) that many airlines run for short trips barely fit a toddler; even model-thin women (and men) are squished. Other planes like the different Airbus models offer a couple inches more room.

The domestic carrier midwest Airlines has "business class" seating throughout the entire plane. The ticket prices are that of a low cost carrier. It VERY comfortable even for big hipped people.

Depending on your need for room, like if you don;t want to have someone sitting next to you then you will have to buy 2 seats. It doesn't seem fair, but if for any reason a passenger can not have somone next to them due to any reason the are required to purchase an extra seat. This is so everyone on the aircraft is seated comfortablely. This is a standard for most airlines now.

Urban Legend...avoid SW Airlines; they supposedly have charged extra for using two seats for larger folks. You might ask to sit in exit row on planes that have the two seats next to window. The arm can be lifted on some of those. I remember them being on some AA flights.

Some of the lower class ones won't bother, but you can call ahead to United, American, and I think Airbus (as well as others.), if your going to England.
