6. Excessively Fragrant Perfume
The idea of traveling for many hours may make you think about spritzing on a little extra perfume before your flight. While some scents might smell wonderful to you, they can be overwhelming for those around you, potentially leading to headaches or breathing issues.
Airplane cabins can be a bit cramped, which can make scents feel stronger and sometimes a little overwhelming for fellow passengers. Many people may have sensitivities or allergies to strong fragrances, and that can lead to headaches, respiratory issues, or allergic reactions. Since cabin air is recycled, those intense smells can stick around and impact everyone on board. It’s really important to think about everyone’s comfort, especially when we’re all so close together. Choosing lighter, more subtle scents or even skipping them altogether can really enhance the flying experience for all of us and help create a friendly atmosphere during our travels.

I wear cotton fabrics. Polyesters are flammable.
I have stressed that very same thing. The worst thing about polyesters is that they melt to the skin, continues to burn and then have to be peeled/cut off. As cotton burns it falls off. I’d rather be inconvenienced by some temporarily exposed skin than to spend months being repaired in burn units.
An airplane can get really cold, especially around your feet. When I see someone getting on with flip-flops, I know they will be very uncomfortable, why do you think first class gets a pair of socks? Also, this is the biggest piece of advice I can share NEVER sit on the aisle holding a baby. When those luggage bins open up luggage often falls out, and I’ve heard horror stories.
I live in Central Florida and I cringe at the airport seeing all states of undress. Flip-flips, short-shorts, bathing suit tops. In an emergency a person needs to move FAST – even to RUN. Flip-flops and sandals don’t allow quick movement or protect from glass, cut metal or the big, heavy feet of others. Polyester fabrics melt to skin when exposed to fire – and it removed by peeling or cutting off of skin. Cotton fabrics are the best because they turn to ash when burned. ‘Tennis shoes’ give the best foot coverage and solid, sure-footedness.
