Totally 💯 agree

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!

True. Also, flip-flops make you tired, because you have to tense your feet to keep them on. Walk in them very long, and your feet and legs will be tired. When I see a family where the kids are in flip-flops, I feel sure that pretty soon after landing they will be dragging tired, kids cranky around.

I always wear a good pair of runners when flying. I’ve always wondered, what about the female flight attendants footwear, how fast would they be able to run with their heels (or sometimes boots) in case of an emergency?

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!

I wear compression leggings when traveling all the time Especially since my husband had 6 blood clogs. He now wear compression socks when we travel.

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

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've never had a problem with wearing jeans on a plane. :)

Wool always makes my skin feel like it’s burning. I have sensitive skin and severe allergies.

Many years ago I saw a show about surviving different scenarios. One was air plane crashes. Assuming the crash is survivable, they said never wear anything that can melt. In most crash situations, according to the program, a ball of flame will go through the aircraft the cabin lasting a few seconds. Man made fabrics tend to melt causing sever burns by remaining on the skin. Where jeans and heavy fabrics don't usually do anything but get singed. Never been in a crash or know anyone who has, but it made sense to me, so I wear lose fitting jeans.

Hello Megan retired canadian traveler from Kingston here. As per the merino wool recommendation, I did tons of research on the topic before taking off on a one bag travel last winter to s.e. asia and I found the merino wool blend to be the most ideal (the downfall of merino wool is it tends to bunch up or wear to holes and a blend helps with the durability. My research seemed to indicate that a 80-90% merino wool wound around a NYLON core has all the benefits with no negatives. The outer merino wool weave is what is in contact with the skin and the nylon gives the fabric some stretch (and most importantly) more strength to prevent deformation. Nylon is more preferred then polyester (not just in merino wool blends but in clothing in general) because of one key reason. While it is true that polyester does not absorb any water, while nylon will absorb 5% the downfall of poly is it WILL absorb oils, while nylon will not (plus nylon is more stretchy). When i mean oil's i mean body smells, so nylon will not eventually hold on to unwanted odors like poly will. That is why for me the merino wool nylon core blend is such a winner... All the anti odor protection, more the double the durability! WIN! Keep up the good work, I enjoy your channel!

Sounds like you have it covered! Happy travels!

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.

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.

I used to have "airport jeans" - they were at one point a size down to avoid them losing a fight with gravity at security screening (it's happened to all of us right!) without needing a belt either, kills two birds with one stone, these days they actually fit properly but still stay where they're supposed to without assistance. I love my skate shoe style trainers when flying as well, super easy to get off & on at security while being pretty comfortable & hoodies just too handy not to have as worst case scenario, they work well as a makeshift pillow if need be! Best thing though is a good, quality pair of noise cancelling headphones, such a lifesaver particularly on early flights if you want to catch a nap during the flight.

Great tips as always Megan - I totally agree on the loose fitting, non-restrictive clothing and layering is key!

I wear jeans on planes all the time. Maybe it's because I'm male that I've never had an issue. I also wear a belt with rodeo belt buckle and by time I've taken stuff to go through security I'm much lighter till I'll put it back on after clearing the scans. Occasionally I'm not scanned, but it almost confuses me when it does not happen, but bonus. Most male jeans have a bit of stretch around the waist. Cowboy boots and hat are my daily wear anywhere in the world, unless I'm wearing job specific clothing or safety gear. So these issues may be more female oriented.

Thanks, Megan! What works fine day to day may not be good for long flights! 😁✈️🧳❤️

Also, you can use sunglasses and a thin, non-slip mat to prop your phone in landscape orientation on the tray table during the flight.

I always carry a hoodie in my backpack in all times of the year because of cold airports and planes. I also put the hood on with Bose headphone in just noise canceling mode so I can sleep. I do usually wear loos fitting pants that have zip-off legs.

I never wear anything tight, so it's my loosest cargo pants that have a normal waistband at the front, and elastised waistband at the back. A light wool sweater and light wool socks are necessities. I generally layer up which frees up space in my carry-on. Like you, I try to wear my bulkiest shoes for the flight. I never wear anything synthetic on flights! Synthetics retain odours, don't breathe, and melt in fires.

Hi Megan, thank you for honestly addressing the issue of plane bloating! Like you, I also enjoy low waist loose leggings and sometimes pair them with a loose fitting knit skirt over the top (not actually as daggy as it sounds). This gives me the option of removing the leggings either on the plane or on arrival if the destination weather is hot.

I just typically wear jeans but these are not your regular cotton denim jeans.. their light and stretchable as the light denim is blended with a bit of lycra. So on a long flight they are quite comfortable. There are also business slacks where similarly the material stretches. Color wise I would choose a black or a very dark blue color jeans as I can use it with a collar shirt if I ever have to visit a place that has a dress code such as a casino or restaurant. Belts wise I use a travel belt which the buckle is made of tough plastic- thus avoiding the hassle of removing my belt (and putting it back on later) when going through the body scanner.

Thank you for an interesting and informative video 👏👏👏

Last year on a trip to Poland, Germany and Prague wore stretchy jeans, first time, and last time ever, OMG, the pain and suffering during that Loonnnnggggg flight, never ever again!

Some great tips and ideas, for sure. Thank you, Megan! Though I personally do prefer stretchy jeans when I travel: denim is a pretty sturdy fabric that won't easily catch or rip, and it won't show dust and dirt if you bruapsh up against the wheel of your suitcase or have to sit on concrete. And the cotton fabric goes through a relatively wide range of temperatures fairly well, keeping you reasonably warm in an autumn draft of sub--tropical heat.

You are so right about hair styles during flight. I had long thick hair and wore a ponytail from MO to AK. It messed up my upper back and I had to spend a good amount of money to have a massage therapist work on me. I've since cut my hair but I've learned my lesson about long flights--even if I want my hair out of my face, I'll find an alternative other than a ponytail. 😊

I noticed that every single one of the teenage girls was wearing a single braid on the side. I thought it was so cute and started wearing my hair like that too for a while (until I cut it). Now I realize it’s a brilliant hairstyle for a plane ride! I’m not sure if those teenage girls knew it but your post reminded me! If I ever let my hair grow past my shoulders again (unlikely since I’m 60 now) I’ll do the same thing!!

My tip is to wear a shirt with a chest pocket (if I'm not wearing a jacket) - then I can put my passport and boarding pass there when appropriate and I know exactly where they are. I do wear jeans when I'm traveling, but the pockets aren't big enough for my passport.

I wore tight jeans on a transatlantic. I then checked my hand luggage so I didn't even have something to change in to. One of the biggest flight mistake I have made. Now I wear a maxi dress with a long sleeve t-shirt underneath and a shawl.

Not having flown since the onset of Covid I have been watching your KZread content avidly but encountered a problem that was very distressing on my flight to Alaska from UK. We flew in to Denver on June 22nd to change flights onward to Alaska. If you were pre-booked with TSA you had over a dozen booths to process you. Unbooked 2 booths. So booking saves you a queue for over 2 hours duration. We dropped our luggage in for the next flight and went to the securiy booths to access our outbound flight. This time there was only a single booth open for non prebooked travellers. After an hour without moving in this queue at all several US travellers destined to miss their flights posed a mini riot to the TSA representative who wandered by. By this time several of the dozen booths for prebooked travellers were standing idle, having cleared their hall. Eventually 3 booths were opened for us non booked flyers and we then got through in 20 more minutes. This made the combined time from arrival to getting to the gate for the connecting flight nearly three and a half hours. Coments please, and maybe a cautionary video, if making money from prebooking is a prime objective.

Thank you for the tips. Love the puppy!

Thanks, Megan. I agree with just about everything you mentioned. I have 2 purposes in traveling to Thailand each winter to my house. Everything that I take over is meant to be left at my house, including personal items and clothing that is difficult or expensive to buy in Thailand. For that reason, I do wear jeans and a hoodie on the way over. The hoodie to put the 2 cordless tool batteries into because of their weight. I’m already on blood thinner pills, so I don’t worry about blood clots on the plane. Coming back to the U.S., I wear shorts and loose fitting tee shirts, and use the airplane blanket if needed.

For jeans, go with The Perfect Jean, nice stretch to them.

I always dress for comfort. I do use a belt, but I use pants that have stretch in them. I keep on t shirts. I also use a travel vest with lots of zippered pockets. Anything that would be in my pockets goes in that instead. Keys. Wallet. Cell phone. Chargers and cables. iPod. Tickets. Passport. I'm not sure if I should wear a hoodie or a warm woolen sweater on my next flight.

Yes i wear jeans from UK to Thailand all the time, the only problem is the heat when you arrive in far east but no problems on plane.

Some good tips, I especially like the track pants over your leggings idea and not wearing a bright top that will reflect in your IFE screen!

The first time I did a long backpack trip I wore jeans when leaving home without thinking about the consequences. Not only were they uncomfortable during the 17-hour flight but then I had to carry them in my pack and when every ounce counts, they were way too heavy and bulky. I finally ditched them in a hostel which smarted because they weren’t cheap. Never wore or packed jeans again while traveling.

I agree with the loose fitting clothing for more comfort but who cares what any other clothing looks like. This is not a fashion show (although many ladies think so) and whoever might think how ugly you dressed, you'll never see them again because they're most likely from another part of the world.

I like to wear flowy palazzo pants. No constriction at the knees - important for lower extremities.

I've traveled to Thailand 4 times in jeans and a nice loose top and have no problem in long flight. On my way back was leggings and a light jacket that i layer over a top or just the light jacket itself. As far as travel shoes my first thee trips, wish i knew not to wear anything that slowed down security check at the gate. Now I pack easy slip-on/off shoes when traveling. Easy to slip on after security check and grab my carry-on and go without holding up the line.

I usually wear jeans. I've heard that natural fiber based clothing should be worn in case of an accident that involves fire. Synthetic fibers can melt and/or catch fire more quickly. These synthetic fibers can melt and stick to skin causing more severe burns and be difficult to remove from the skin.

Great tips as always! Especially the sunglasses one at the end of the flight! Even us Hazel eyes people don't like the "light flash" when the overhead lights come back on. Getting closer and closer to that 100k subs mark!!

I've always heard to only use natural fiber clothing because if there's a fire man-made fabrics will melt onto your skin. I have a pair of pants that's mostly cotton, but has some stretch, so just a bit of spandex. On the top I use a cotton tank, a marino wool lightweight cardigan and take a large light-weight wool scarf. This takes me through all situations. If I land in a hot place, I just remove the sweater. If I land in a cold place, I have a jacket in carryon (plus gloves depending) and can put the scarf on.

I always wear jeans and have NEVER had a problem!!!

I'll typically go for lightweight pants, a tshirt, and a sports hoodie. I say sports hoodie because they are breathable and moisture wicking, both good for keeping comfortable on a long flight. Finally I use athletic socks and slip on sketcher shoes, I love these for the memory foam padding that keep my feet cozy, and the socks keep my feet dry. It's all about comfort and versatility when flying and navigating the airport ❤

Recently went through the body scanners at KSA, wearing jeans and had to take my belt off, then I have to raise my arms and my jeans started to slip down and the guy had a go at me about it! Tracky dacks from now on.

Great video, Megan 😊 I never knew about the reflective white t-shirt info - interesting 🤔 I leave some space in my carry-on and/or personal bags and I wear light layers that are soft & comfy and can be removed if need be 👍 You're absolutely right about the hair styling info! Thanks, Megan 🇨🇦

I like to wear sweatpants and hoodies when I fly. For me it's a lot more comfortable and a lot less restrictive.

I always put on well fitting jeans on a flight, meaning not the tight fitting one and always comfortable (not baggy) blouses and jackets. Also take care what I eat and no alcohol at all.

I wear garterized jeans during flights.. they are comfortable and are practical for bathroom necessities

I've historically worn slides, shorts and a sweatshirt when traveling domestically in the US.

Joggers, a nice v neck t-shirt, and cardigan. Shoes consist of slip on flats with socks and plenty of breathing room and cushioning. Hair is down. Everything is stain free, doesn’t wrinkle, and color coordinated. I’m neat, presentable, and comfortable.

I don't wear pants on a daily basis so I am not used to having fabric between my legs. When sitting down, I find shorts and pants very uncomfortable. Not to talk about jeans (I don't wear those at all). Leggings are OK, and I will sometimes wear them when traveling in the winter time. But in the summer time, I really like dresses better. I will pack a stole in my cabin bag and use that to cover my legs if it gets cold on the plane. Much easier than trying to slip on a pair of jogging pants while sitting down in a seat with very little leg room. On longer flights, they most often offer blankets. The great thing about dresses is that one can go with zero constriction at the waist. Good for comfort while traveling, good if it gets warm at any time during travel or at the destination. I choose dresses in wrinkle free fabric that fall below the knee so I never worry about modesty, but they don't drag on the floor either. Also, I most often travel for work and I can jump from plane to conference reception without having to unpack and change first (flights get delayed sometimes).

I wear whatever is comfortable and smart. PJs are for bed, not planes, not walmart, not a breakfast buffet. Im all for casual, this is just plain slobbishness.

I really wish all travelers would view your videos. Sensible, useful info.

I wear a skirt or jeans when flying. I do have a pair of yoga pants but since I don’t wear them in public often & I only do carryon, they’ll take up precious suitcase real estate. If I don’t have a hoodie, I will bring a large (4’)rectangle shawl/scarf that I can use as a blanket. Jeans don’t bother me when flying.

Sounds like you have the clothing thing all worked out! Happy travels, Elizabeth!

Hi Megan. Thanks for these. Is the Merina wool only good for cold weather? Thanks

I usually wear a pair of shorts with pockets that I keep my important stuff in with a pair of sweat pants over my shorts to protect my important items.. Also always go on the plane with a bottle of water. I’ve been on a plane that was so hot it took a half hour in the air before it cooled down. I’ve also been on a plane for 45 minutes on the tarmac and went back to the gate.

I have ALWAYS worn regular denim jeans (and leather belts) on flights, most of which have been coast to coast travel. I wore jeans on my one trip to the UK some years back. Never had a problem. I'm an older woman, plus-size, and if anyone would have issues it would be me. But then, I prefer clothing that fits 'comfortably, I factor in clothing 'give' in my day-to-day life.

waaaa, i opened YT app and this is on the first top part. this was my next search😮❤

Hope it was helpful! Happy travels!

I’ve been traveling in golf pants. They have a wide elastic waist, no wrinkle fabrics, plenty of stretch so they are comfy, but look put together and tailored.

@@PortableProfessional thanks.Stay safe.

I've enjoyed your past vedios, as well as this one. I've never considered the very cloths I've chosen to wear during my flight. As a man, I picked up a great deal of pointers from your clothing tips. With that said, would you consider exploring and elaborate a bit more on the male clothing options during our flight/s. "Thanks" for sharing!
