Riding
in a plane 5,000ft above the ground can be a tricky situation. One slip
and an entire cabin can go tumbling to ground zero. While you really
want to focus your mind on staying positive throughout the journey, you
do not want to live through the ride with feelings of unease due to
wearing the wrong outfit.
While
staying comfortable should be at the top of your priority list, a
hoodie and worn flip-flops may be a little too much of a fashion
statement. To help you get a grip on the art of looking flawless on a
plane, Jovago.com Africa’s largest hotel booking portal has compiled
this list of 5 steps to dressing for a long flight.
Choose the right underwear
Underwear…the
one thing people take for granted while dressing for the road. When
planning for a flight scheduled to take longer than 2 hours, avoid
putting on items made from tight or scratchy fabric like nylon and lace
which will keep you tweaking your knickers all through. Easy-to-wear
textiles like cotton can save you a ton of embarrassment.
Make a little effort
Enroute Lagos and
looking to be treated like royalty aboard a plane? Then dress fab!
Putting a little thought in an attire can open doors of favour from the
flight attendant or high-net worth passenger in the next seat.
Whilesporting a super glamorous look may be over the top, a touch of
class reflected through the choice of clothing shows how much value one
places on themselves and their time.
Wear dark colours
Although
aeroplanes usually have clean environments, there’s a large degree of
bumping and squeezing that takes place while people get on or off the
aircraft. This shoving can lead to minor accidents and ruin a brightly
coloured shirt. To stay safe, pick darker colours.
Keep the socks on
Before you leave your hotel room,
check your purse for a pair of socks. Sitting in one position for a
long period of time in a pressurized cabin can cause most people to
retain water in their feet. In order to avoid the puffiness, try packing
along a pair of stiff stockings known as ‘compression socks’. The
firmness of these socks can prevent swelling and help regulate blood
circulation around the legs.
Take a cardigan with you
It
can get really cold in a cabin and just as it’s a great idea to protect
the legs in-flight, it is equally important that top section the body
stays warm. Throwing on a cardigan is a good way to keep the body snug
throughout the flight.
Comfy shoes
Soft
ballet pumps for summer and fluffy boots for cold weather are the ideal
footwear for an extended trip. Although some passengers would rather
stick to the traditional sandals, they give your feet room to expand
in-flight, leading to subsequent pain and swelling. If you decide to
take off your shoes mid-air, ensure it’s only for a short period or put
on your band socks to stay on the safe side
