What do you wear on the plane for a long flight?

We are flying to Germany next week, and I am always torn on what to wear.

It's an overnight flight, so I want to be comfortable and wear comfy pants. BUT, when we arrive, I don't want to look stupid wearing sweatpants, so I don't know if I should wear jeans.

Do you change at the hotel? Do you even care? I feel silly for even caring.

Also, what about coming home?

Re: What do you wear on the plane for a long flight?

For long flights like that, I cannot wear jeans.. I get very bloated when I fly and jeans are just not comfortable! I will wear sweat pants especially on an overnight flight. I'll freshen up in the bathroom before we land (fix hair, maybe add a bit of make up, brush teeth, etc). Flying makes me anxious to begin with and I absolutely need to be comfortable!

Re: What do you wear on the plane for a long flight?

For long flights I'll wear nice jeans to the airport and change into something more comfy on the plane. Then before we land change back into jeans. I also feel uncomfortable wearing yoga pants or sweats in the airport.

Re: What do you wear on the plane for a long flight?

Sweat pants, tshirt, with a zipped hoodie over it. Sneakers, but change into slippers on the plane.

Comfort before ANYTHING on long flights, I don't care what I look like at the airport, to the cab driver, or to the front desk clerk. When I get to my room, however, I immediately shower, put on "real" clothes, makeup, etc.

Re: What do you wear on the plane for a long flight?

I wear sweats and a hoodie. Depending on how long the flight is (12 hours +), I will bring a change of clothes.

Of all the times I've flown to Germany, I just wore sweats. I lived there so when I was coming home it was from a home visit. It was a pain to get back to my apartment, b/c it was a small university town, so I wanted to be comfy.

Re: What do you wear on the plane for a long flight?

I might not be the right person to ask because I don't really care what I look like when I land. I usually where a matching sweat set.

Re: What do you wear on the plane for a long flight?

I usually wear a velour sweatsuit. I am all about comfort on long flights!!!!

Definitely dress for comfort

Re: What do you wear on the plane for a long flight?

For long flights like that I usually wear my comfiest jeans, a t-shirt, a hoodie or cardigan, and flip flops.

Re: What do you wear on the plane for a long flight?

I wear sweats and then change when we get to the airport

Re: What do you wear on the plane for a long flight?

I wear a nice Sweat pants outfit.
(nothing with stripes)

Please bring a pair of slippers for the bathroom trips...once you take your shoes off its hard to get them back on when you are up in the air.

Bathroom floors get really gross after a long flight yuk

Re: What do you wear on the plane for a long flight?

on our flight to and from Europe a few weeks ago I wore jeans and a sweater - and Sketchers. when we landed in Paris I had slept less than 1 hour and it was 6am NY time. yea, I care what I look like

I just wanted to be comfortable, and I was.

on a side note, the seats on Air France are the most uncomfortable I have EVER experienced on a plane. it was an Airbus, so maybe that's why.

stretchy skinny jeans that i have room in, boots with thick socks, comfy strechy shirt and a wrap sweater or blazer over it

i can take the boots off during the flight but when i walk out of the plane i dont look too sloppy, esp if we are walking around and the hotel room is not ready

Re: What do you wear on the plane for a long flight?

I always jeans and birkenstocks and whatever top I have going. Jeans are comfy for me...
