CONFESS!!!! What did you wear last time you flew on an airplane

[LynneSin]

I for one like comfort. And comfort is sweatpants with my favorite oversized sweatshirt - usually my Philadelphia Eagles hoodie although sometimes I go for the Cincinnati Reds sweatshirt I have that I love.

I usually fly economy but the few times I made first class I still wore the same thing.

[TZ]

1. Loose comfortable clothing.

Because I was returning from testing at the Mayo clinic. Last year I wore what was basically a sweat outfit home because I'd had a bone marrow biopsy two days before and was sore as hell!!
People need to understand we aren't all traditional business travelers.

[LSK]

2. NOTHING!!!

Have not been on a plane yet!!

:hi:

[fizzgig]

3. a pair of jeans, a tshirt and a hoodie

i would have worn pajama pants, but we went to lunch before we went to the airport. i was wearing pajama pants when i flew business class on british airways, but i was bumped up to coach at the gate. i probably would have worn the same thing anyway as it was a ten hour flight.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

4. depends on where i am flying. when i go to india, i go in pajamas.

its over 18 hours just flying. i dont care how i look.

[bikebloke]

5. Jeans and T-shirt.

And there are times flying internationally where I've worn short and t-shirt. Since I was traveling with a bike, I wouldn't have to change and could ride away from the airport.

[Art_from_Ark]

30. Are you able to travel with your bicycle intact?

Every time I've taken a bicycle with me on a plane trip, I've had to disassemble it and put it in a box before it could be accepted as checked luggage, then reassemble it at my destination. I can't imagine a place at an airport where I would be able to reassemble it, or even where I'd be able to ride it around.

[bikebloke]

43. Not any more.

A couple times they gave me a huge plastic bag. I had to turn the handle bars and remove the pedals. Easy. Then I had boxes where I could do the same (I'd toss in my tent and blue sleeping pad as well.) The last time was a pretty small box, and I had to take even more apart.

Now with the TSA goons(Thieves Stealing At-will), I don't dare fly my bike.

[Mojambo]

6. Sweat pants and t-shirt. n/t

[Coventina]

7. Columbia sportswear slacks & long-sleeved button-up shirt.

I was coming back from SE Asia.

If it sounds like I was "dressing up" I really wasn't. Both items were very comfortable, which is why I chose them. I wore my running shoes for footwear. Once again, comfort was the issue.

I don't think people should have to be anything more than clean and decent to get on a plane. Well, I also don't think anyone's clothing should cause another passenger discomfort or intrude on their space. I add that caveat because once I flew to New York with the woman in front of me shoving her fur coat over the seat and into my face every 15 minutes or so.

:puke: :mad:

[av8rdave]

8. Uniform

[theNotoriousP.I.G.]

9. I always try to combine comfort and style on flights

I wore a loose fitting skirt and some leggings and a very nice shirt. I got bumped up to business class once wearing the same style of clothing. I wish I were rich and could afford that again....today we're featuring wines from the Tuscany region. Loose fitting clothes are the best on long haul flights but does it need to be a TRACK SUIT?

[Broken_Hero]

10. A nice flannel, nice jeans, tan boots

a nice Mariners hat, and a Green Lantern glow in the dark tshirt. :)

[TheCentepedeShoes]

11. Jeans

and Texas Tech tee shirt
But there was definitely no first class on the regional jets I had to take from here to Tally via Dallas

[alarimer]

12. You have to dress for comfort on airplanes because you are squeezed in like sardines

The seats are smaller and closer together than those on a Greyhound bus.

It is simply a bus for the air; nothing glamorous about it, so why the hell should I or anyone else dress for anything but comfort?

[madinmaryland]

13. Business casual. I was traveling on business.

The last several trips have been day trips. 6:30am out of BWI (on Southwest) and back on a 7:30 flight (typical) Home by 11:30pm.

Houston and Tampa. Did SF and Palo Alto a couple of times back in the early 00's.

[azmouse]

14. It's been a long time since I've been on a plane but

I almost certainly wore jeans and a simple blouse. That's my standard outfit for most occasions.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

15. Business casual.

That's the dress code for non-rev passengers.

[pink-o]

18. Oh, speaking in code! I'm non-rev as well when I travel.

Just got back from Amsterdam last month. Wore black yoga pants with a silky blouse, blazer and flat black shoes. You can be comfortable and still look dressy, which is your only choice as a traveling airline employee.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

20. True. There are a lot of clothes that are both nice-looking and comfy.

AMS to anywhere is a long flight, you can't wear tight stuff without being miserable.

[Capn Sunshine]

26. same here

Business trip, but these days, if you're in a suit TSA really doesn't mess with you. Or maybe it's just my "don't fuck with me" vibe, I dunno. But I wear suits more often than I do anything else, because I'm always fucking working it seems, so I'm comfortable in one.

[blueamy66]

16. dress slacks and a white blouse and heels

I was coming home from a business meeting.

[bluedigger]

17. Jeans, sport shirt, sneakers.

My typical travel attire. Comfortable and practical.

[CBR]

19. Jeans, Phillies T-Shirt, Tennis Shoes nt

[Rabrrrrrr]

21. I just can't dress like a slob - last time was dress jeans, jacket (as in suit), and shirt with tie

although one leg of that flight came after a short stay in Hawaii, and so the end involved the dress jeans and a REAL Aloha Shirt.

[Dystopian]

22. A diaper...don't remember...but I know.

My father was the pilot...must have traumatized me...
peace~

[NMDemDist2]

23. loose skirt and boots with a sweater

but i like skirts more than 'sweat suits' I find them more comfortable for long sitting than pants

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

24. So yesterday evening I was on a flight

from ATL to MSP, and there was this guy sitting near me (not too near, fortunately), who looked like pretty much of a slob: Middle-aged guy, long, stringy, greasy blondish-gray hair; patchy gray stubble, a dirty, wrinkled orange denim shirt with the sleeves torn off (revealing his armpit hair), baggy cut-off jeans, and sandals. You can decide for yourselves whether he was dressed appropriately for flying, but what I can't figure out is why he'd be going to MSP in November dressed like that? Damn, it was *cold* when we arrived.

[Art_from_Ark]

36. I've seen a few people on winter flights from Japan to MSP/Detroit/Chicago

wearing cut-offs/shorts, and yes, I have been a little surprised. Some of those people are probably coming from Taiwan or Singapore, but I have seen others at the ticket counter at the Narita airport, which in January isn't exactly Palm Springs.

[pitohui]

50. he was going ATL-MSP-LAS

i hate that routing, but that's what they were doing, putting him on that last flight out to LAS

i'm not real fond of that flight but i've taken it many and many a time, and usu. i make the too-tight connection, and sometimes my luggage even makes it too

:-)

if he doesn't make the connect and gets stuck at MSP, hope he stays in the airport, otherwise that's going to pretty chilly overnighting there

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

51. That would explain it.

The last flight from MSP to LAS leaves at 9:30 so he should have made it and not frozen his grungy butt hanging around the chilly North. Seems like a strange way to get to LAS, though.

[RFKHumphreyObama]

25. I tend to dress semi-formally but comfortably

Formal pants, either a short-sleeved shirt or a t-shirt and a jacket

[Crabby Appleton]

27. Something like this

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

28. The TSA lets you keep your cane?

[rucky]

40. It's the white feather they need to look out for.

[SoxFan]

29. Jeans, collared shirt, sneaks, and a sweatshirt

Quad Cities-Detroit-Manchester

[tigereye]

31. we try to avoid wearing black t-shirts since our joke was that black ts

will always get you pulled out of the line for special screening..


At least that's what my husband thought... I think the last time I wore jeans and a non-black t-shirt!

[MajorChode]

32. A nomex flightsuit

[Ikonoklast]

33. Clothes.

I wasn't about to sit in those grimy seats touching my nice clean butt.

[dysfunctional press]

34. dirty underwear.

i hadn't packed enough for the trip. :shrug:

[dana_b]

35. jeans and a t-shirt.

comfy!

[old mark]

37. Old jeans, cowboy boots, sweater, leather jacket. Flying to Buffalo, NY

in extreme cold weather, which is probably most of the time up there. This was pre 9-11.

mark

[Deep13]

38. full suit of armor

It's a bit of a pain at the metal detector.

[Bertha Venation]

39. denim shorts and a t-shirt, tennis shoes. n/t

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

41. Cargo shorts and a hawaii-like shirt

But I wore loose sweats over all that, because airplanes can get a little chilly.

I flew coach.

[seemunkee]

42. I was at the airport last night. Did not see one member of the Sartorial Police

I was appalled

On the other had I can always tell when my son or daughter's flights come in because of the Red Sox hats/shirts/jackets/tattoos.

[jakefrep]

44. Jeans, polo shirt, tennis shoes

And this was on an international flight.

[Dulcinea]

45. Shorts, top, flip flops.

It was last summer, & I was traveling with my family to visit my parents 750 miles away. Flip flops are the only way to go when you have to take your shoes off to get through security!

[Heidi]

46. Jacket, blouse, skirt, knee-high boots, sunglasses, earbuds.

And undies, of course. I was comfy on the flight, too. It was just a short commuter flight from Ticino to Geneva. :hi:

[Phentex]

47. jeans, decent t-shirt and comfy shoes. I'm always too hot on a plane

so I wear short sleeves. I love to walk in airports so I like my shoes to be comfortable. I'm not out to impress anybody.

[TheMightyFavog]

48. Kahki button down shirt and khaki slacks, socks and sneakers.

Flew Economy Class on Swiss International Airlines.

I know I looked like Jim Lahey from Trailer Park Boys, but theywere the only clean clothes I had left.

You know, back in the day, it didn't matter what class you flew, if you were flying, Everyone broke out their Best.

[pitohui]

49. black pajama bottoms, black oversized T shirt

i wasn't in first class on this flight but i've worn the same outfit in first/international business many times, no problem


i'm surprised so many wear jeans, seems unhealthy on a flight of any length altho i guess the sloppy, too big jeans are OK to wear on a long flight but well-fitted jeans don't seem a v. good idea -- you don't need to experience any constriction on a long flight because of the risk of DVT

between a track suit and jeans, i think the better choice by far if you're concerned about health is the track suit but i don't own such a thing, i'll stick w. PJs

[EndersDame]

52. I made the mistake of trying to look pretty while going on a Bus ride from Austin to Santa Fe

It lasted 24 hours on the return trip I wore a Tshirt and Jammy pants

[Mendocino]

53. Khakis,

a blue button-down long sleeve shirt and tan deck shoes on a flight from Hawaii to Detroit.

[Rising Phoenix]

54. I believe that was at the peak of grunge music

I am betting a flannel, ripped jeans and docs.....:shrug:
