Extend-IT(tm) Expands Personal Airline Seat Belt Extender Product Line

Extend-IT(tm), the leading supplier of personal airline seat belt extenders for larger travelers, has added a new model to its product line. The newest entender, “Extend-IT Model D”, is commonly used on Grumman Gulfstreams, Cessna Citations, commuter aircraft and a variety of commercial and private aircraft.

“While our three original Extend-IT(tm) models covered 95% of the major domestic and international airlines, we continued to receive requests for seat belt extenders for commuter airlines, private jets, general aviation aircraft, etc.” notes Tim Barry of Extend-IT. “With the addition of Model D we believe our extender family is now the world’s largest, covering the vast majority of all modern aircraft seat belt applications.”

Since their introduction, Extend-IT(tm) extenders have met with strong acceptance from larger travelers. Americans continue to grow larger but airline seating remains notoriously cramped. Even business and first class seats are marginal for many larger travelers. The result is more and more passengers finding they need seat belt extenders.

“Some people, unfortunately including some flight crew members, are rude and insensitive to how self conscious and uncomfortable flying can make larger travelers; just requesting a seat belt extender can be inconvenient and embarrassing,” continues Barry, “Carrying Extend-IT personal extenders gives larger travelers a more discreet solution and one less travel headache to worry about.”

FAA regulations require all passengers be seated with seat belts fastened before flight departures. Airlines only stock a limited number of extenders per aircraft; if they run out, larger passengers who cannot be accommodated may have to be bumped to a later flight. Carrying Extend-IT(tm) extenders virtually eliminates this risk.

Each Extend-IT is 25” long with black webbing and includes a carrying pouch, ownership card and the brochure, Flying Large - Air Travel Tips for BIG Passengers.
