People worry about this stuff??
I'm baffled by this post.

1. People still wear garter belts?
2. Who cares what you wear on an airplane?
3. Melting tights is a concern?!
I give the whole thing a

Re: People worry about this stuff??
The melting tights thing cracks me up. If there was a fire on a plane, I would think you have more important things to worry about than the tights melting.
And you're right, who cares what you wear on a plane as long as you're comfortable and don't smell.
Tired after a long morning of hiking and swimming.
I know! Who the crap cares what you wear on a plane. Nobody's lookin at you anyways!
When I flew to FL last month I had an old race t-shirt on, a ratted old hoodie, and my Asics. And no makeup! *GASP*

Evan James was born 1/24/13 and matched with us 2/20/13. The LOVE OF MY LIFE!!!
Part of me is wondering if she is joking around. The girl lives in Norway and travels A LOT for work (she's a regular on the Int'l board) so I think she knows how to dress and doesn't really fear a flying fireball.
And part of me is wondering if the garter belt is because she might be meeting "someone" at the airport for some "fun". Otherwise, who in their right mind would wear something like that??
I worry about what I'm wearing when I fly - I worry that it won't be comfortable or that after 8 hours in the same cramped position it is going to feel (and smell) yucky. Fashionablness comes in a distant 3rd place. However, I have heard that you are more likely to get upgraded to 1st class if you are dressed nicely, so who knows . . . maybe there is a reason to fuss over it all. .
Maaaaaaaybe. But I'm definitely still stink-eyeing the worry about melting tights. Haha.
yeah, that is a bit ridic. I guess there is a conspiracy from all those manufacturers of the circulation socks/tights - - they want their customers to prevent DVT but to suffer the agony of melted synthetics if the plane were to catch fire.
I do wonder about people like that - you are far more likely to encounter fire/heat in almost all other areas of life. Do they just avoid synthetics in general - or is it specifically in flying??
They can go ahead and judge me for my yoga pants, hoodie and flip flops. I live for comfort and sitting coach on a long flight is one of those times that comfort is a must.
my read shelf:
Sheesh, its just an airplane!
That said, when my mom worked for the airlines, we used to fly non-revenue (stand-by) pretty much every time we went anywhere. DH's BF works for the airlines now, and we are on his travel partner list, and can get discounts and upgrades through him. In these cases, however, we needed to "dress up" a bit more than is the norm for customers who are paying in full for their fares. This basically means we have to be "business casual" for the most part, and no jeans. Even as a little girl, I would need to be dressed nicely, because if seats were only available in first class, and we weren't dressed to their guidelines, we would not get those seats. Even if we fly coach and are flying with our BF's benefits, we need to dress nicely because we are sort of representing the company...through our friend, if that makes sense.
Even so, in no way would I ever wear a garter belt on a plane! In those cases I usually wear a non-restricting dress that I could get away with at work, and perhaps a sweater, and nice flats. I couldn't care less about the tights...if the plane is in flames, I'm sure its gonna hurt regardless...

How weird. I'm more likely to judge someone who's super dressed up for the plane ride than vice versa... Although I will admit I give a tiny side-eye to anyone over age 10 or so wearing pajamas on the plane--I mean, I try not to be a judgy person, but wearing pajamas in public is just... strange to me.
We're kind of going out.
I used to travel on Fridays right after work and I would still be in my work clothes (business suit, heels, etc...). Then I'd fly back on Monday morning and again be in business clothes (suit, pressed shirt, heels). That was not fun. I didn't dare drink anything for fear of messing up my clothes before I got to work.
Otherwise I'm a fan of yoga pants, a sweatshirt and either slippers or comfy shoes in case there is a need to run to the next gate...
