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...
