AA Embraer RJ140 seat question for heavy people

Hi, I am overweight, but with belt extender no problem connecting it. What is best seat single asile side or the double seat side?

Single seat aisle. If you spill over your seat, it won't bother the person next to you.

Here's a seat map from seatguru.

I have also found that the armrest can usually be lifted up. Try to find the release button or lever and then lift the arm. The lever is beneath the hinge almost inside the armrest. The button is on the side of the armrest facing the passenger. You'll get a little more room this way. I usually waited until the plane was in the air before I lifted it. (I've since lost about 55 lbs and don't need the extra room now.) The button is not easy to find and if all else fails as the FA. (S)he may say it doesn't exist but my experience is that there IS a button; you just have to find it.

A clarification...I was referring to the aisle side armrest. This is also only applicable to the Barbie Jets. The larger aircraft aisle side armrests don't raise so easily and the crew can lock them down if they want to on the aircraft that can raise the aisle side armrests.
