What to do when you are fat and on a long flight - 3 hrs and 9 hrs
score:2
General Tips:
• Keep hydrated and drink plenty
• Book aisle seats (as you have done)
• Do not keep in one position for too long - go for a little walk every 30 minutes or so, just standing up and stretching can help.
• Don't take walks when meals are being served or the cabin crew have their trolleys out. Be aware that economy can mean that the aisles are rather narrow.
• Wear what you want - but not too many layers or jumpers or anything that you may find uncomfortable. Sports shoes should be fine if they are breathable and not bulky.
• Engage with the passengers around you - so they don't keep staring at you when you get up for a walk or something. • Eat at different points during the flight - 9 hours is a long time!
Free water is available on most planes as long as you don't want branded water in a bottle.

I am also a fat person and can offer these additional tips:
Do not wear anything with a belt; wear loose fitting clothes and baggy cut jeans/pants.
Avoid the rows directly behind a bulkhead or next to an exit door. These may look attractive because of the extra legroom, but the seats are narrower than the normal seats because the tray table and video screen are stowed the armrests.
I personally avoid sports sneakers; unless I have one that are slightly bigger than my normal size. These are extremely comfortable (especially for long treks in terminals) but I find that they become uncomfortable because you have to wear thicker socks with them, and eventually your feet will swell due to the long time you are sitting.
If you are going to take your shoes off, keep your socks on; and keep the laces of the shoes untied. As a big person it is difficult to put on both shoes and socks in economy seating (I usually get up and put on shoes in the isle).
The above tips have served me well on many long flights, hope they help you as well.
