- Seat belt extenders are standard on the American airlines. All the
- seats seem too narrow to me. I've travelled on United, Delta, Continental
- TWA, India Airlines, Singapore Airlines, and India's East-West. I think
- it is standard to the builders of the planes...i.e. Boeing. Anyhow, I
- usually try to lift an armrest or if the plane is not full, I ask to be moved
- to another seat. I also try to fly off hours so the flights are less full.

- Have fun in Europe. I hope to be heading there in March myself.
