Airplane aisles are often designed to be narrow to allow for more seating, which can increase the number of passengers an airline can accommodate per flight.
However, this design choice often fails to take into consideration the needs of plus-sized passengers.
Airplane lavatories are another area where space constraints are noticeable.
Typically small, cramped, and lacking in accessibility features, these restrooms pose a significant challenge for larger passengers.
The combination of narrow aisles and tiny lavatories can make a simple trip to the bathroom an ordeal, one that many plus-sized passengers dread.
TikToker Bo Berry candidly spoke to her followers about the challenges she encounters when flying, highlighting what she describes as the ‘number one roadblock’ for her as a plus-sized traveler.
She posted a video of herself navigating the aisle of a United Airlines plane, demonstrating how she has to turn sideways to squeeze past the rows of seats.
