Whether you are choosing an outfit for a short or a long-distance
flight, it is important that you feel comfortable and at the same time
stay out of trouble.
We at Bright Side collected some tips from flight
attendants and fellow travelers about things not to wear on a plane.
Read until the end to find a bonus and figure out which clothes can stop
your journey right at the airplane door.
8. Perfume
While flying, you will be in a small but packed area. Avoid heavy perfumes for the sake of your fellow passengers. A prevailing number of people find scented products on others irritating, and there could also be people with allergies and asthma on the flight.
7. Tight clothes
Avoid tight clothes, especially when your flight is longer than
4 hours. People on a long-distance flight are at a risk of DVT (deep
vein thrombosis). DVT is a blood clot that forms in a deep vein, usually
in the leg. To prevent it, wear special compression socks and loose comfortable clothes, and walk around whenever you can.
6. Complicated items
Airplane bathrooms are tiny. If you are wearing a jumpsuit, you will have a hard time
trying to take it off. Instead, wear something which is not likely
to cause difficulties in this small space. Clothes with a lot of buttons
and zippers won’t make your flight experience the most comfortable one.
5. Clothes or jewelry containing metal
It is no surprise that shoes with large metal adornments
or jewelry with metal can slow your progress through security. What
is unexpected is that some sparkling sweaters
might have metallic threads woven into them. While you can easily
remove shoes if needed, removing a sweater might be more difficult.
4. Summer clothes
Even when you are flying to a warm country and are tempted
to pick a summer outfit for your flight, don’t forget that the
temperature in the plane can be surprisingly cold. Having multiple layers of clothes on is essential for a comfortable journey.
3. Contact lenses
In an aircraft, the average humidity
can get as low as 20%, which will make your lenses dry out and cause
irritation in your eyes. If you have a long flight, it is recommended
that you take your lenses out, especially if you are going to sleep.
2. High heels
Airport security will ask you to remove
your shoes. Not only can heels potentially be used to store prohibited
items, they have a metal construction base, which will definitely set
off the alarm. Nobody likes standing in bare feet on an airport floor.
Moreover, your feet might swell during the flight, so tight shoes should
be avoided.
1. T-shirts with offensive text
You won’t believe this, but there are people who were banned from boarding a plane because of the way they were dressed. The reasons can be multiple: too much cleavage, a low-cut dress, saggy pants, an offensive T-shirt, bare feet, or even leggings
when flying on an airline’s employee pass. While some of these
decisions are debatable, try to stay reasonable when choosing your
outfit.
Bonus
Even if you are a star and follow the rules, you can still
be stopped by security and thoroughly searched. This is exactly what
happened to Kim Kardashian in LA.
Going on a trip is an exciting experience! Share with us your
personal choice of flight outfit and any airport experiences connected
