I know I exceed my 18" and I don't really care to be honest. The 18" wide seat is a travesty to be honest. They need to revaluate the seat sizes. The problem is, the seating capacity goes down proportionately based on the width of the seats. If they changed it from 18" to 22", they would lose a lot of seats. In fact, they would lose a lot. They'd go from 81,441 capacity down to 66,633.When my wife and I fly, I like to book well in advance, and try to find an airline that has a two-seat configuration on one side of the aisle for my wife and myself. That gives me a little extra room and we don't cause any concerns for others. Also, when it comes to seating arrangements when the plane isn't full, I ask them at check in if they want to put my wife and I in any row where I won't be squeezing out the person next to me. They oblige when possible. My recliner at home is 22" wide, my office chair is 22" and I drive a Honda Pilot for the seating room. I find it difficult getting behind the wheel of most cars. There just isn't enough room. That's what happens when you weigh about 300#.</blockquote>
