thanks guys. i know i'm probably just freakin out heh

and luckily i don't think its even POSSIBLE for them to switch out to a smaller plane since the planes we have are only 40-seaters on both legs lol. So unless they switch a prop engine crop duster.. we should be ok. They don't offer anything but coach/economy on any of the planes we're taking, so there isn't an option for upgrade even if we could.

I don't think that the arms raise on the return flight, but I'm fairly certain the lady said they do on our trip down there.

Thanks again for the reassurances. It sucks to be a fat person in an unaccommodating world. Even with losing 140 pounds i'm in a panic attack kinda mode.

I'm used to using the extenders, and it doesn't bother me having to ask for one when needed. I'd be more concerned about my safety and sanity NOT wearing one to worry about the extra embarrassment.

Just to give you an idea about how much i obsess about this stuff.. i taped together paper and marked out the 17.3" of ass-space that we're each allowed and tried to sit on just that area and just freaked myself out even more realizing my ass is still wider than that lol. Imagine this.. the seats are an inch longer than my keyboard.
