Folks:

I am a new user to this forum and also a customer of size. In October, I will be flying United Airlines from Edmonton, AB to Orlando, FL via Denver and back. I have purchased two seats for the trip as to have as much comfort as possible.

Notwithstanding, I have a question about the armrests in the United aircrafts. According to my intinerary, I will be flying on a Canadair CRJ-700 (CR7) and an Airbus 320 (32S), as far as I can tell from reviewing seatguru.com. Do the armrests in these aircraft move up to become flush with the back of the seat or do they stick out?

The reason I ask is that I just flew twice with Westjet Airlines to/from Edmonton to Toronto. On 3 of the 4 flights, I had an armrest that protruded out several inches into my side/back. Needless to say, this was most uncomfortable at take-off, but was a source of constant discomfort for the duration of the flight.

Any information or advice on this topic would be much appreciated.

Cheers!
