1. High Heels
I truly enjoy high heels and the fantastic way they can make you feel on top of the world! However, one area where this chic look might throw a wrench into your plans is at the airport. Wearing high heels on a plane can lead to quite a bit of discomfort during those long flights, making it harder to sit back and unwind.
High heels can restrict your movement, making navigating through bustling airports and tight airplane aisles tricky. In case of an emergency, they could slow down your escape, which is something to consider. Plus, wearing them for too long can result in foot pain and swelling, especially with the shifts in cabin pressure. And let’s not forget that high heels often don’t quite match the laid-back, comfy outfits we typically enjoy for flying, so they aren’t the best choice for a smooth trip. Prioritizing comfort is always the way to fly.

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.
