I'd like to add one more thing. For the health and comfort of others, pleeeese refrain from overdoing it with cologne, perfumes after shave etc. Some people are allergic to the chemicals in them (me!) Some people wear so much perfume you can smell them coming even before you see them. So unless you want the person next to you coughing violently for hours, or possibly throwing up with the violence of the coughing, please be considerate and don't wear strong fragrances. Thank you ❤
German flight-attendant here: This is the first video concerning reasonable dressing on flights, that I liked !!! Safety-issues and comfort are well explained, and I appreciate, that you also mention to wear decent clothing and avoid couch-potatoe-look, which is a sore to the eye and also people do not take you seriously.
That was so comprehensive. What a superb video!
Former head of the NTSB said most airline incidents are survivable, but a lot depends on what you wear. It’s all about protection from burns. She said only natural fibers against your legs like jeans, feet covered completely, leather preferable, arms covered in cotton or linen. Basically nothing that can melt on you and cause burns.
I wear an old pair of thick socks over my compression socks to go through security. Once I put my shoes on again, I stow the outer socks in a plastic bag in my tote bag. I can slip them on again when going to the plane’s lavatory, too. Then I repeat the process on the way back home, and just toss the old socks in the trash.
Skechers "Slip-Ins" shoes are a God send if you have trouble bending over or when you're in a hurry. Both old people like my husband and me and young people who are often in a hurry love them, love the look and the comfort. I look for the ones that are machine washable. For sure, I wearSlip-Ins Skechers for air travel!
I flew with an airline that I don't typically take. When I saw the flight attendants boarding the plane, I realized that my navy blue dress nearly matched their uniform. It didn't get me special treatment from the airline but, I did get some questioning looks from the other passengers.
Really appreciated this video. Great info. Simple, no boring repetitions. Touched many areas. Great job
This is me when travelling, I do not want anything to delay or ruin my trip. I avoid everything you as you described in this video. thank for for this video. very helpful.
the information about the TSA medical device card is priceless! my husband is diabetic and wears a continuous glucose monitoring device. we both have problems with our shoulders which limits our ability to raise our arms. this information is pure gold! thank you!
I liked all your advice. I am a former Flight Crew member that frequently dead headed to different Cities, sometimes Internationally. Enjoyed your video
Please.... think of cleanliness before leaving home and for the flight!! Taking a shower, and wearing clean washed clothes before leaving home... for your own comfort and other passengers are suggested!! I have experienced Bad adour and sweaty, smelly passengers on either side of me! In addition the flight was full and was unable to change the seat, and suffered 9 1/2 hours!!! Ended up with a bad headache and was feeling very sick😨😰 Please think of your confort and of others too. Just a gentle request🙏 Thank you...
My son was pulled out of a school group because he was the only one in the group (escorted by teachers) who was wearing appropriate footwear for the school trip to go walking up the volcano (walking boots). He was let through, but when they got to the trip, everyone else found the ground too hot to walk on!
Very good advice on what to wear to the airport. I wear a lot of Merino Wool and that’s great for travel
I always wear heels and a great dress, no carry-on. A decent-sized handbag with things that may have vanish from my checked luggage. No problem.
Very informative. Enjoyed listening because the topics are specific, detailed, organized, easy to follow, and the voice neutral but calming. The video demontrates what are being talked about like the type of belt or shoes or socks to wear or not to wear.
Loved the video learned a lot. Thanks.
Thanks a lot for the precious traveling tips !
I only travel with a small suitcase, roll up 5 pairs of shorts , pants ,shits & underwear in separate baggies that way I’m protecting my clothes from unwanted bugs. day 4 I take my clothes to a laundromat as they are everywhere or if staying with family or friends I do my laundry there. I leave my house with clean bagged clothes come home clean bagged clothes. Zip locked freezer bags are the best as they are thicker.
