Where do we Fit: Navigating AccomModations as plus size travelers

Traveling with a bigger body can sometimes present some challenges.

Whether these challenges are physical, structural, or emotional; there are many ways to avoid them or prepare to face them with confidence and be emboldened and comfortable travelers, no matter size.

While it can be uncomfortable or embarrassing to ask about weight limits and size accommodations, plus size travelers are just as worthy as any other travelers to have a relaxing and inclusive stay.

Asking these questions while choosing accommodations can help assure a comfortable and safe stay for plus size travelers.

As many of us are plus size travelers ourselves, we know these can be tough to ask, but we also know how uncomfortable it can be to break furniture, not fit into tight spaces, find towels that fit like washcloths, set off an elevator alarm, etc because we have been there.

Whether it be a hotel room, short term rental, vacation house, or cruise cabin, these are some questions to ask to assure personal comfort and safety as plus size travelers:
