Plus-size influencer says airlines should accommodate people like her

Are airline companies doing enough to accommodate curvier passengers and ensure their comfort during flights? According to plus-size influencer Emily Jones, the answer to this question is a resounding “no.”

Jones, who frequently travels between Malta, the UK, and Finland, believes the travel industry, as well as the hotels from around the world, should impose changes that would better suit the needs of oversize travelers.

This influencer shares her journeys on her Instagram account, @miss__jones, encouraging plus-size people to get out of their comfort zone and explore the world.

“I want to promote easy travel for people of all sizes and shapes – and make them feel they deserve to see the world just like other people,” she says.

One of the changes she believes airplanes should do in order to better serve larger individuals by creating a a safe and welcoming space for them, is to make extend the length of seatbelts.

“Seeing this being destigmatized, so people can travel comfortably and without the added anxiety, would be a dream come true,” she posted on the social media.

Jones also advocates for more spacious seating options, or at least additional cushioning and adjustable armrests.

When it comes to accommodation, Jones wants hotels to provide large towels and bathrobes in order to create a welcoming feeling to plus-size guests.

As she’s sharing her journeys with her followers, Jones says that the situation regarding larger individuals is indeed changing for the better as more and more hotels offer conditions that make these individuals feel included.

Based on her own personal experience, one of the best places that offer warm and welcoming environment for plus-size tourists are the Seychelles in Africa.

The devil waits at every crossroads: a walk between darkness and light on Dartmoor

  The devil waits at every crossroads: a walk between darkness and light on Dartmoor The new 38-mile Archangel’s Way, a pilgrimage route in a rugged corner of Devon, straddles Christendom and ancient pagan sites T he story of the church of St Michael de Rupe begins – as all the best Dartmoor stories do – on a dark and stormy night. A sailor, stricken in a wild and furious sea, fell to the deck of his ship to pray for salvation. The almighty unveiled a mountain in the midst of the tempest where the ship duly made landfall: in gratitude the sailor built a church on its summit. The devil – who had unleashed that evil storm – did his best to prise the church from its foundations, but Archangel Michael sprung to its defence and became the patron of this Devon parish. The tale has many versions, but this is the general gist. Today, St Michael de Rupe counts as the highest working church in southern England – poised dramatically on top of a western outlier of Dartmoor’s tor...

  How to Make a DIY Carboard RC Plane Hello, fellow makers!👋  I'm excited to share my latest project with you—building a remote-controlled airplane from cardboard.✈️ As an RC enthusiast who loves drones and everything related to remote-controlled vehicles, I always wanted to create my own plane, but I was put off by the high costs and complexity of traditional materials. So, I decided to take a different approach and use readily available and affordable materials like cardboard. However, I was initially hesitant because I wasn't sure if a plane made of cardboard would actually fly. But after doing some research and putting my design skills to the test, I decided to go for it. 🛠️ In this instructable, I'll guide you through the process of building a sturdy and functional RC airplane using a cardboard fuselage and wings, along with a few 3D-printed parts and the electronics. This project was not only fun and educational but also incredibly rewarding. I learned a...

Did you know that if your ear hairs grow, it is because your body is

  Did you know that if your ear hairs grow, it is because your body is Ear hair growth is a natural part of aging for many people. As we get older, hormonal changes can lead to an increase in hair growth in certain areas, including the ears. This is often due to changes in testosterone levels, which can stimulate hair follicles in the ear. Additionally, genetics can play a role in how much ear hair a person develops. While some people may notice only a little hair growth, others might experience more significant growth. It’s a normal process, but if the hair becomes bothersome, there are grooming options available to manage it. It’s also interesting to note that some people might be more prone to this due to their family history. If you notice it becoming a bit much, there are safe ways to manage it, like trimming or using specialized grooming tools. Just make sure to be careful when doing so! Ear hair growth is a common phenomenon, especially as people age. Th...
