Do NOT Wear This on the Plane (Travel Outfits to AVOID)

25 GENIUS TRAVEL HACKS (FREE): bit.ly/PP-TravelHacks My all-time favorite travel tips and hacks in one place.

As advised, I got rid of my tight fitting pants. But other travellers did not appreciate me sitting in my underwear.

I have been wearing jeans for hundreds of flights with no problem at all.

So many opinions about clothing--here's mine. Hoodies and sweat pants are way too casual for me when I'm flying. As someone who sews, I'm familiar with the way different fabrics burn. I avoid polyester or performance fabrics when flying because of the way they scarily melt. Natural fibers for me when flying!

As a retired airline employee, please allow me to make a suggestion about footwear. (And this also applies to train travel, busses, etc.) I NEVER wear sandals or flip flops. In the unlikely event that you have to evacuate the aircraft in a hurry at the gate, on a taxiway, or runway, your feet may be the difference between a good outcome, and...not so good. I guarantee that the people behind you won't care that you're wearing flip flops, and by the time you get to the ground your feet will be hamburger! Think about that the next time you fly through MSP, when it's 9 degrees, and a -25 wind chill!

Compression leggings or socks can help stop the development of DVT which is often a danger of longer air travel.

Wrong, wrong, wrong, about capes and ponchos! They're more convenient (no struggling with sleeves) double as a blanket or a pillow, and pack flat rather than take up room like a bulky jacket or sweater. Even acts as a foot rest. Nothing cozier on a coolish "redeye" than snuggling under a non-restricting poncho with a warm hood. More people should try them!

I often wear long dresses, and have never had my clothing snag or drag on anything. I prefer them, as I can wear another layer underneath, because I am always freezing on long flights.

I always wear jeans. Slim fit boot cut. And I'm in my 60s

Wool, no matter what kind, no exceptions, is ALWAYS itchy to me. Cotton sweaters only.

On long flights I will wear lightweight loose joggers WITH zippered pockets. Peace of mind that important things (money, passport, bording pass, etc) don't slip out unnoticed

I once travelled for 2 weeks with just a carry on and a tote bag. I wear stretch jeans a size larger. As for belts if I need them for a dress I use elastic with faux "leather" buckles etc easily found on Amazon....I wear my best pants suit and the bulkiest shoes etc to save packing space - in cooler months I layer a trench coat (with or without lining) over everything which allows me to employ one of your best hacks....(sling bag under coat).....you would not believe how much I can pack in all the pockets - jacket, and coat.... Shawls are dangerous and can get caught on moving "sidewalks" at the airport or even escalators. Finally for long flights I take my shoes off on the plane and move around - using either a second pair of sox or sox with soles or those covers you recommended.....Finally I carry an inflatable neck support in a pocket along with noise cancelling headphones.....

Last year flight to Europe - wore linen pants, linen tops, and a linen jacket. Perfect!!

I wear comfy jeans with no belt, I keep that in my suitcase, a loose comfy black t-shirt, slip on shoes and I bring a pair of slides for the flight. I’m definitely going to look into compression socks for my next long haul flight.

I wear jeans all the time. When I fly jeans are the best idea. I have not mastered the art of Carry-on, the way u seemed to have. Jeans are also quite practical.

Jeans are typically made of cotton and in a fire emergency are better to wear than synthetic leggings which melt into your skin (and I do mean melt into your skin, ask any burn center) should there be a fire. And the flame doesn't have to touch it, just the exposure to the UV and heat radiation will melt it to your skin as you pass by the fire area. I would advise against wearing synthetics for that reason. Yes, airline accidents are more rare today, but what risk do you want to take? And wear shoes that allow you to be active if you need to do a quick evacuation. And guys, there are TSA approved belts out there that are stylish and easy to loosen when sitting, I wear mine all the time when going through TSA pre-check without problems.

Wow, didn't know about some of suggestions. Thanks, Megan!

Love the reflection observation!

Thank you for an interesting and informative video 👏👏👏

I always have a pair of paper booties in a sandwich bag in my purse or pocket. Barefoot or sock foot, it grosses me out to think of the germs on public floors/carpets and then putting my foot or now contaminated socks back in my shoes! So I always have paper booties to use. Then simply remove and turn outside in and back in the sandwich bag.
