can i buy an extra plane seat just for space?

Last week, I was booking a flight for a trip to visit my daughter, and I started thinking about how cramped those airplane seats are. I’m not a big person (I’m about 5’8” and 180 pounds), but honestly, I just want a little breathing room. I remember last time, I was squished between two strangers for four hours, and by the end, my back was killing me and I was in a terrible mood. So here’s what I’m wondering: can I just buy two seats for myself, even though I don’t technically need the extra space? I’ve seen bigger folks do it, but I’m worried the airline might make a fuss or force me to give up the empty seat if the flight is full. Has anyone actually tried this? Did the airline give you a hard time or did they let you keep your precious elbow room? I feel like we all deserve a little comfort, especially after a certain age when our bodies just don’t bounce back like they used to. But is this just wishful thinking, or is it actually possible? I’d love to hear your real experiences—did you get to stretch out, or did you end up arguing with the flight attendants? #travelquestions #airplaneseats #midlifetravel #comfortmatters #airlinestories #Travel

choosing between turkish airlines and taag for portugal trip

So my cousin and I are finally making our dream trip to Portugal this September, and let me tell you, picking the right flight is turning into a whole adventure on its own! We spent hours comparing prices, and TAAG is definitely the cheapest, but Turkish Airlines isn’t too far behind. Here’s the thing: I’ve read so many mixed reviews about both airlines that now I’m just confused. Some people say Turkish Airlines is great, others complain about delays and lost luggage. TAAG, on the other hand, is a total mystery to me—barely anyone I know has flown with them. The kicker? The TAAG flight has a super long layover, but at least I have lounge access. The catch is, I’ve heard the lounge isn’t anything to write home about—maybe just a sad sandwich and a lukewarm coffee. I’m worried about being stuck in an airport for hours, especially if the lounge is disappointing. Plus, I keep imagining my suitcase going on its own vacation and never making it to Lisbon. Has anyone actually flown with TAAG or Turkish Airlines recently? Did your bags make it? Was the layover as bad as people say? If you had to choose, would you save money and risk the long layover, or pay a bit more for (maybe) better service? I’d love to hear some real stories—good or bad! Honestly, I just want to get to Portugal with my cousin and my luggage all in one piece. Anyone else ever feel like booking a flight is more stressful than the trip itself? #TravelQuestions #PortugalTrip #FlightAdvice #TravelWorries #AirlineStories #Travel
