Ryanair seat belts

Ok so big ask for this one. I've seen loads of posts about the fact that Ryanair seat belts are 30". Last time I flew with them I was a size 28 and definitely needed an extender, now I'm a 22/24 224lb 53" hips I'm wondering whether I will need an extender or not...I'm very hippy/tummy.

The reason I ask is my husband is claustrophobic so we always book row 2 seats by bulkhead extra leg room but this time they had gone so we booked row 1....then I realised that they don't allow extenders there so do I move him 4 rows back to next available seats or hope I can squeeze in somehow?

Could you call Ryanair and ask or try their online chat?

You will still need an extender. Seats on Ryanair are small, at 18 it was tight.

You can buy one on Amazon and just sneak it in.

I dont know about the seat belt situation, but just be aware that row 1 will have the table trays in the arm rest, which makes these seats slightly narrower the others.

Honestly I’m a size 16/18 and find the standard RyanAir seatbelts nippy.. I’m also hippy/big tummy

Something to think about but those reviews are not reassuring.

EileenGC · 01/06/2022 21:08

The airlines give them out. Why would anyone buy them off Amazon?

ScootsMcHoy · 01/06/2022 21:09

And why would you sneak anything on to a plane!

EileenGC · 01/06/2022 21:13

Yeah, I also wonder how that poster thought the OP would be able to 'hide' an extender whilst sitting in row 1. Literally face to face with the cabin manager during take off!

Just flew this weekend OP. I’m a 14/16 and it just about fit!

ReallyIrish · 06/06/2022 22:20

It's strange at size 16/18 I found them snug but at 20 and heavier than you and very hippy they still just about fit.
Wear light clothes.

@Adsd
can I ask how you got on on your ryanair flight? Did you need a belt extender?
