When it comes to travel, one of the most common questions I get is: what do you wear when you fly? I’m now rethinking my standard answer.
At the same time, I realize that by packing passengers in like sardines and cutting service in domestic economy class, there is no luxury in flying any longer…and the price has come down so much that it is a commodity for the masses. $29 tickets in 2025 dollars? When it comes to the cost of air travel, we are in the golden age.
Sometimes on domestic trips, I will wear polo or t-shirt with clean white sneakers, which (I hope) strike the right balance between comfort and dignity. Even if I’m connecting to a redeye later, I’d rather look put together during the day than shuffle through the airport looking like I just rolled out of bed.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Live and Let's Fly.
