Romy:
It depends on the body. But when I weighed 650 pounds, I rode on a plane for an hour.
We bought 3 seats, of which 2 were for me.
It didn't fit in two seats.
My seat was in the middle of the plane and to get there I had to strain my butt to avoid getting trapped between the seatbacks.
When I tried to sit down my knees hit the front seat and part of my butt ended up on my husband's seat.
People were looking at me, I was tired and uncomfortable and when we arrived my legs were numb and I couldn't get up.
Everything was horrible from the moment we bought the tickets where they weighed me.
I remember the mocking smiles of the flight attendant who reminded me to lose weight and even said let's try to take off.

I'm so sorry you had that experience. You were a responsible passenger, doing what you knew to do to ensure you didn't inconvenience anyone else. The flight attendant's job was to assist you as a paying ticket holder, not judge or shame. I hope they're not longer in a customer-facing job
