Will I fit? Here are the actual numbers.
SeatRuler is the fit reference for plus-size travel: verified numbers for airlines, cruise lines, theme parks, and trains and buses, collected from the operators' own pages wherever they exist, dated, and linked to every source. No diet talk. No judgment. Just what the policies actually say, and what to ask for.

What we cover
-
Airlines
Only 3 of 15 publish their seatbelt length. We tracked all 15 anyway: 121 sourced data points, verified and dated. -
Theme parks
No park publishes modified rows. We map them ride by ride: 75 rides at 5 parks, 322 sourced points. -
Trains & buses
0 of 3 publish seat dimensions. Here's everything that is known about Amtrak, Greyhound, and FlixBus: sourced, dated, and honest about the rest. -
Cruise ships
No line publishes a shore-excursion weight limit. We hold them to account on the onboard slides and tenders they do own: 4 lines, sourced and dated, Disney held until we can verify it ourselves.

The desk
Three honest things about how this site works. Every figure shows whose number it is, from "per the airline" down to clearly-badged community reports. Where an operator publishes nothing, we say "not published" and then ask them directly; their answers and their silences both go on the record, in the airline accountability table, the parks one, and the cruise one. And you are the verification network: the tip line takes corrections, measurements, and stories, every one read by a human, nothing published without consent.
