Plus-Size Influencer Pushes for Inclusive Travel
Emily Jones, a well-known plus-size travel influencer, urges the travel industry to better accommodate curvier passengers.
Advocating for Change in Air Travel
Frequently flying between Malta, the UK, and Helsinki, Jones uses her platform to highlight how airlines and hotels can be more inclusive. She shares tips to help travelers of all sizes feel comfortable and welcomed. Through her Instagram, @miss__jones, she documents her journeys and inspires people to explore the world without limitations.
Jones pushes for one key airline change: announcing seatbelt extensions during boarding. Many plus-size travelers, she explains, feel anxious about asking for one. “Removing the stigma would let people travel without unnecessary stress,” she says.
Beyond seatbelt extensions, Jones calls for more spacious seating, extra cushioning, and adjustable armrests. These changes, she believes, would make flights more comfortable for all passengers.
Improving Hotel Stays for Plus-Size Guests
Jones also urges hotels to step up. She suggests providing larger towels and plus-sized bathrobes—small adjustments that can make guests feel truly welcome.
Finding Inclusive Destinations
Despite challenges, Jones celebrates positive experiences. She praises the Seychelles as one of the most inclusive places she has visited, describing it as warm and welcoming for plus-size tourists.
Her mission is clear: travel should be accessible to everyone, no matter their size.
