Fierce Fatties Flying

Big Sexy Chat Podcast

Send us a text

Ever wrestled with a standard airplane seatbelt, praying for just an inch more of slack? Ever felt the unwelcome scrutiny of fellow passengers as you board, the silent judgment heavy as lead? Buckle up for a journey through the not-so-friendly skies as we tackle the unspoken challenges of flying while fat. We'll shine a spotlight on the airline industry's troubling approach to passenger comfort and examine the implications of policies that squeeze profits at the expense of people.
Ever had someone else's toes creep into your personal space during a long haul flight? We'll share personal stories of in-flight discomforts and microaggressions, while also touching on the positives, like the unexpected luxuries of first-class flying. We'll navigate the turbulence of Southwest Airlines' Person of Size policy and the potential impact of New Zealand Airlines' controversial survey. Through it all, we'll underline the emotional toll of these experiences and the need for a more accommodating, respectful travel environment.
But this isn't just a one-way conversation. We want to hear your in-flight experiences, your tips for staying comfortable and calm, and your thoughts on how to challenge the rampant fatphobia in the aviation industry. We'll also chat about representation, dishing on our favorite fat-positive influences in the media and the necessity of normalizing fat bodies in all contexts. So, whether you're a seasoned jet-setter or preparing for your maiden voyage, join us for an illuminating discussion on the highs and lows of flying while fat.
