Fat Person in Business Query (It's Me!)

[AussieGuy64]

Hi!
I am flying VA Business in 2 weeks, and well I'm not blind I am obese/fat/a lump call it what you want! About 130kg, usually I can just fit in economy (although I do always ask if I can get an empty seat beside me for everyones comfort) but the tray table in economy won't come down (as I said fat!).

I understand VA Business has the tray tables in the armrests setup so am wondering if the tray table will work for me as it is set up!

Are they set or can they move forward some way to accomadate `f' people.
Just curious if there is a way to find out the measurement from say the back of the seat to the tray table to see if I can fit!

I know FWP and all, but these kind of things worry some people!

It does push forward but only slightly, although you can use it folded in half but not much room left. Maybe someone has measurements but if you check the other thread "Virgin Australia Business Class - Meals, Menus & Service" there are photos you may be able to use as a comparison.

I am no slim Jim by any means, and it works OK, but not a lot of extra room there I'd guess, if I was 30 kilos bulkier.

There is of course that pretty wide divider, and a pull out tray on the end of that, so for drinks and coffee etc you will be fine.
