Can I buy 3 seats on a plane?

Yes, buying multiple seats for your convenience is something many airlines offer. Each has its own process to insure you get seats that are together and are properly flagged so that they don't appear as no-show seats that can be filled by standby passengers. Pricing also varies by airline.

To book an extra seat, select 2 seats when booking. The first seat you can book for yourself and fill out the fields like your normally would. Airlines can't have 2 seats assigned to the same person, so for the extra seat you will have to make the airline aware it is an extra seat.

In general, obese passengers on airlines who require a seatbelt extender and/or cannot lower the armrests between seats are asked to pay for a second seat on their flight, unless there are two empty seats together somewhere on the plane. Special size passengers have little to no choice when it comes to this rule.

Most likely, it won't be comfortable, but you'll still fit at 300. Try and book next to an empty seat, if you can. I assume you already do that anyway, but I don't know how often you travel, or whether this is your first time.

In general, families may like to sit close to the front because it can both offer extra legroom (if seated in the bulkhead) and the ability to get on/off the aircraft with carry-on luggage easier. On the other hand, families may also like sitting in the very back because it's next to the lavatory.

I am a bigger person, size 24-26-28. Will I fit in an airplane seat? You will probably need to buy two coach seats and ask for a seatbelt extender (or to have yours). Remember, two coach seats are generally much cheaper and more spacious than a single first class seat.

You can actually book more than one seat for yourself. “Poor man's first class” would be buying 3 seats in a row for yourself, cheap, and major airlines generally let you do this but you'll need to call. Cancelling tickets at the last minute, though, doesn't actually get you these empty seats.

Emphatically, no. You will likely get assigned a seat during check-in (though you should still skip it if the airline tries to tack on a fee) or, at the very least, at the gate. Again: You don't have to select a seat in order to get a seat. You just might get stuck with a suboptimal one if you choose to skip it.
