Her vision is for the travel media to represent larger individuals, creating a safe and welcoming space for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One significant change Jones proposes for airlines is to announce the availability of seatbelt extensions during the boarding process. She explains that, based on her experiences and messages she receives online, asking for a seatbelt extension is a major anxiety for plus-size travelers. \u201cSeeing this being destigmatized, so people can travel comfortably and without the added anxiety, would be a dream come true,\u201d she shares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-main.newsner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2024\/06\/19115255\/Screenshot-2024-06-19-at-13.52.25.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-151381\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Jones also points out the general discomfort of flight seats for larger passengers. She advocates for more spacious seating options or, at the very least, the provision of additional cushioning and adjustable armrests. These adjustments would help ensure that all passengers can enjoy a more comfortable journey, regardless of their body size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to air travel, Jones highlights the need for better accommodations in hotels. She suggests that hotel groups offer larger towels and plus-sized bathrobes, noting that these simple changes can significantly enhance the comfort and sense of welcome for plus-size guests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While acknowledging the challenges faced by plus-size travelers, Jones also shares her positive experiences. She particularly notes that the Seychelles in Africa was one of the most inclusive places she has visited, offering a warm and welcoming environment for plus-size tourists.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Emily Jones, a well-known plus-size travel influencer, has been vocal about the need for the travel industry to better accommodate curvier passengers.
