I received an email from the chunkEnationtour yahoo group announcing the date for the Travel Channel program "XXL Travel" (pronounced "extra-large travel"), which is to air April 11, 2007 8pm, and wanted to share it with you all. The Travel Channel was in Vegas last summer for the BBW Network Vegas Bash where they followed around several bashers filming them for the program. The email noted that the following is the program description Travel Channel is using for promotional purposes about the show below:
"XXL TRAVEL takes an inside and revealing look into how large people travel. Do full-figured airline passengers have to buy two seats? How do thinner passengers feel when larger passengers spill into their seats? For answers- and to experience XXL Travel firsthand- we follow four large passengers as they fly to Las Vegas. We talk to an industry insider to find out if the airlines are adjusting to the plus-size market. In Las Vegas, we feature a unique event for big people and examine traveling large: from hotels to tourist attractions to restaurants. So get onboard to experience XXL Travel."
