While most airlines do not have a formal dress code, there are some widely accepted guidelines for what to take on a plane. Or, more specifically, what No to take on the plane. The reasons for these rules and recommendations range from cleanliness to comfort and convenience. And if you read your airline’s contract of carriage (aka the fine print), there are also some genuine requirements to follow, or else you risk being started his flight. Before you head to the airport for your next trip, read this list of what not to wear on a plane.
Open shoes
If you’re headed to a warm-weather destination, it can be tempting to wear sandals on the plane, but you may want to think twice before making that decision. “It’s probably been a while since they’ve washed and deep cleaned that carpet and under the seats,” he said. bobby laurie, a travel expert and former flight attendant. “Also, always wear shoes in the bathroom. Don’t think it’s just water on the floor, it probably isn’t.”
Offensive Clothing
This is where the fine print of the airline comes into play. Most carriers reserve the right to deny boarding to passengers wearing offensive clothing. The verbiage is intentionally vague, but usually refers to profanity in the text or general lewdness. If an airline finds your clothing offensive, they may ask you to change. And if you refuse, you may be kicked off your flight.
Pijama
We’re all in favor of being comfortable on a flight, but since you have to be in public, it’s best not to wear pajamas at the airport and on the plane. “Instead, wear loose, comfortable pants with an elastic band,” said Susan Fogwell, a former flight attendant with 22 years of experience. “For example, Athlete Balance Pant it’s as comfortable as pajamas, but they’re pants.” The one exception: if you’re business class flightand they give you pajamas for your flight, they are acceptable to wear on the plane; just change before you land.
Swimsuit
Hawaiian Airlines is one of the few to publish a dress code, and specifically prohibits swimwear. Considering planes don’t have pools, that shouldn’t be a problem. You can always cover up if you feel you must wear your swimsuit on a flight.
A single layer
Because you can never know what the temperature will be on a plane, it’s always a good idea to prepare for all scenarios. And that’s why wearing only one layer, whether it’s a tank top or a thick sweater, is not a good idea. “Wear layers to be prepared if it’s cold and take the layers off if it’s hot,” Laurie said.
bulky metal jewelry
It can be fun to play with accessories for a night out on the town, but keep your bulky metal jewelry packed in your carry-on while you travel. (Never check anything valuable.) You’ll likely have to remove it when going through airport security, which is more trouble than it’s worth.
Fragrance
be nice to you travel companions who are sensitive to certain fragrances and avoid wearing anything too strong. Scents spread everywhere when you’re in an enclosed space like an airplane cabin, and your favorite fragrance can be overwhelming to others.
