2. Tight Clothing
Choosing an outfit for your flight can be fun, but it’s important to consider comfort too. I personally adore skinny jeans, even if they’re not everyone’s favorite these days. However, it might be wise to take some style tips from Gen Z and go for a comfy wide-leg pair instead. Your travel experience will thank you!
Wearing something tight on a flight isn’t the best choice, as snug clothing can restrict circulation, which might increase the risk of blood clots, particularly on long-haul journeys. It can also result in discomfort and chafing, making it tougher to fully relax during your travels. Plus, the changes in cabin pressure can cause bloating, and tight clothes might make this feel even worse, adding to your discomfort. Tight clothing can also hinder your ability to move comfortably in the limited space of an airplane, making it tricky to navigate the aisles or use the restroom. Choosing loose, comfortable clothing can really enhance your flying experience.

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.
