"I have a fierce love for airports. They’re magical places, yeah? Hundreds of emotions. Reunions. Goodbyes. The thrill of first times and the boredom of routine. Connections happening all around you. You can be anyone. You could meet anyone.
And there’s so much variety to satisfy my people-watching soul. I’m always interested in how people dress for the airport. Whether they realize or not, their sartorial choices are telling stories about them. I’m no world traveler (yet), but I have noticed this in my history of air travel: while there’s always a broad spectrum of dress, a large portion of the crowd will naturally sort itself into two loose style groups–working professional or sloppy traveler. Of course, it is true that airports and planes promise a much better experience if you’re prepared and comfortable. However, you can be comfortable without showing up in leggings, Ugg boots, your boyfriend’s college sweatshirt, and a tie-dyed pillow under your arm.
I’m catching a plane to Portland on Thursday morning. I know from experience that cross-country flights always feel longer than you expect, so wearing comfortable clothes usually seems like a pretty solid choice by the last half-hour. But what I also know about cross-country flights is that, eventually, you land. And then you’re somewhere awesome. Hopefully wearing something to match."

the MOST dressy would be dark jeans and a nice sweater... that's if we're going to do something as soon as we land or we're meeting someone new at the airport.
For our honeymoon I plan on wearing nice (but comfortable) jeans, a tank top and a flowy shirt over it. TBH, if we were flying somewhere in the US or Caribbean I would probably just wear yoga type pants, but I want to look nice when I step off the plane in Europe. I might end up going with leggings, but I haven't worn them since I was about 7, so I don't know how to wear them/what kind of shirt to wear.
Now, I don't do stupid stuff like heels or tight skirt (unless maybe it was a quick flight where I was hopping off and going to lunch).

[QUOTE]I usually wear a comfy dress or skirt. If it's a longer flight, I'll wear yoga pants. I judge people who look like they just rolled out of bed and got on the plane. You can be comfortable without looking like a slob.

Me too. I wear a casual skirt and comfy but sylish flats and layer my tops so I can take them off/add them with temp changes in the plane. If it's winter I wear dark jeans and easy slip on/off knee-high boots. I
I hate dressing frumpy and I agree that people can be comfy without looking like they rolled out of bed.
I also <em>have</em> to sit in the aisle seats so I can get up and pee as much as I want without disturbing anyone.

<div>Haha sometimes I just did get out of bed. I had a red-eye flight once with a 5 hour layover. I fell asleep in a chair and woke up like f-it, just get me on the damn plane</div>
[QUOTE]I always bring a pashmina too because as a scarf it looks cute then when I get cold, insta blanket!!!
Posted by nda_roxybabe[/QUOTE]
Ohh, good idea! I have a lot of those. I usually want a blanket on long flights, but you can't get them anymore, and I don't want to schlep one around with me! Has anyone flown first class before? I did over Christmas, and it was so nice. It was really hard to return to coach the next time around.

Actually, twice. LAst time, on my way back from SC last summer they moved me to first class (no idea why) and I had the whole row to myself. I can tell you after the awful problems I had that trip I definitely deserved it!
My Chart
See, all my flights are always very, very long so I think I'm just used tothat. There's not much in the way of short flights when you live in Alaska. 13 hours traveling is normal for me.

[QUOTE]I'm a sucker. I like to be comfortable. I fly in a hoodie and yoga pants all the time. If I'm flying from Fargo to anywhere warm, I will wear a cute shirt underneath, but I don't fly to look good, I fly to get to where I'm going and be as comfy as possible in the mean time.

this.
i will admit though, that I often see girls like you roxy walking through the airport and get bitten by the green monster cause I wish I wanted to look that cute ;p i just would MUCH rather be comfortable than be cute when I'm travelling =x
[QUOTE]I*Roxy, love the green sleeveless top. I want it.

Ditto on that cute green shirt. I still don't understand why the hell do you look cute with blonde hair<u> and</u> brown hair? You're not human. My face looks like a meth addict if I try to go lighter. Washes me out.
Have you all been checking out the GBCK posts today? What's going on? It's entertaining to a point, then sad, then annoying, then entertaining again.
I don't understand getting dressed up for a flight unless you have to get off the plane and go to a meeting or something like that.
