A PLUS-sized travel influencer has revealed the changes that airline companies should make for curvier passengers to feel more comfortable. Emily Jones, who often travels between Malta, the UK and Helsinki, said she wants to see the travel industry change to accommodate larger people. The travel blogger said she wants airlines to make the process of boarding flights easier for passengers - and help those who require extra adjustments.

According to the traveller, it is the little adjustments and efforts that count toward making a passenger's journey more easy. She told DailyMail : "It would be great if airlines could announce during boarding that if anyone needs a seatbelt extension, that they are available. "From my experience and what people tell me in my messages online, asking for an extension is a big fear for plus-size people.



I’d love to see this being de-stigmatised so people can travel comfortably and without the added anxiety." Emily also advised hotel groups to offer larger towels and plus-sized bathrobes to make larger people feel more comfortable. Speaking about the challenges that larger people face while travelling, Emily said that flight seats are "notoriously uncomfortable" for most of them.

While the travel influencer said visiting some countries as a plus-size model was "tricky" because of their "awkward stares", she revealed Seychelles in Africa was one of the most inclusive places she visited. Emily says she records and posts her jet-setting life on soci.
