if you read back a few pages, we were discussing airlines a bit. In my travels, i have found Continental and Alaska to be the best. (alaska even offers a refund on the 2nd seat if the flight isn't full). They have the best planes (regarding armrests) and websites (regarding information for larger passengers). Obviously Southwest has had the worst report with dealing with overweight passengers, which is why i'll never fly with them, but they could be much better now, who knows. Delta seems to not be very fat-friendly as far as non-moving aisle armrests and in the basic dealing with the 2nd seat/armrest issues when calling them directly. But that could also have just been my individual experience and they're really much better than what i've run into.

 

I finally ended up going with Delta even though their aisle armrests don't move, simply because the prices bottomed out and i wasn't going to pay several hundred bucks more, just to fly Continental both ways.

 

As for the Pearl, I am planning on taking plenty of photos and videos of the seating to hopefully help others wanting to take her in the future. There really isn't a lot out there online specifically geared to accessibility for larger passengers. Man would i love a job that *forced* me to go on cruise ships and stay at hotels to check out how fat-friendly they were.

Alaska is the best fat friendly airline out there -- hands down.

"Larger passengers are becoming a major problem for the cruise lines."

And their money spends just as well as our thinner sisters and brothers.
