The average??

Question

What's the average belt length on an airplane?

I'm flying on SunWing (canada)

....but, what's the average length?

Thanks! =)

Answer 1

The average seat belt length is 46 to 47 inches in length. The average seat belt  extension is 25 inches.

Answer 2

Please forgive me if I'm misunderstanding the question, but do you mean the average length of the seat belts?

I don't know the average length of the seat belts on Sunwing, but it's not uncommon for them to be too short for larger passengers.

If that is the case, don't heistate to ask a flight attendant for a seat belt extension. Each plane will have a couple extras.

I understand that that can be slightly embarassing, but it actually happens quite a lot. No point in being really uncomfortable for the whole flight when the extensions are readily available. I've even had a few passengers who needed two extensions - no big deal as long as they're comfortable. You're paying for the ticket, might as well be comfortable.

It also couldn't hurt to give Sunwing a call to double check their ability.

Enjoy your flight!
