    You can call the airlines and ask about their restrictions and policies.....

    I would definitely call and see if you have to purchase two seats.

    Avoid southwestern. They are hateful to people more than a size 2.

    We flew American last summer. I weighed 300 (5'2") and most of it in my middle and butt. I had to use a seatbelt extender (ask the flight attendant as you board, they'll bring it to you) and raise the arm of the seat next to me. It was occupied by my daughter (small kid) so it was ok, but I don't know if I was flying alone.

    Checking with the airlines is best.
