Plus-size travel blogger shares how she secures two seats for the price of one on ‘almost every’ flight

Post by Magdalene »

A plus-size travel influencer has gone viral after sharing her travel hack for securing two seats on a flight without paying extra.

Kirsty Leanne is a UK-based content creator with more than 115K followers on TikTok, who often shares tips and tricks for plus-size friendly travel. Leanne has since started her own travel service for plus-size women, called Plus Size Travel Too. In a video with 2.6m views on TikTok, she shared how she gets an empty seat next to her on “almost every flight” she takes.

“One of the most daunting things about flying as a plus-size person is how much space you’re going to have,” she began the video, which included clips of Leanne jet-setting to several travel destinations. “And with the airlines making it so difficult to book a second seat, this tip has definitely saved me so many hours of uncomfortable flights.”

Leanne then shared with her followers the one question they should ask the flight attendant when boarding a plane. “Do you know if there’s any seats where there’s two seats next to each other free?” she filmed herself asking the attendant.

“Maybe after boarding I can look,” the female flight attendant replied.
