With the countdown to Spring Break edging closer everyday, hopefully there are visions of sunny beaches and fruity umbrella drinks dancing in your head.\u00a0 Before you head to the airport for travel to a far-flung destination, here\u2019s a quick and easy guide of what to wear and what not to wear on your next flight.\u00a0 With these tips, you can make a hectic day at the airport a little more relaxing.<\/p>\n
1. \u00a0Wear shoes that are easy to get on and off.<\/strong><\/p>\n Leave the cumbersome boots and strappy shoes in your packed luggage.\u00a0 If you\u2019ve flown in the States in the last several years, you know that shoes have to be taken off at security and run through the X-ray belt.\u00a0 There\u2019s usually nowhere to sit to remove cumbersome shoes, and so you\u2019ll want to wear ones that are easy to get on and off from a standing position.\u00a0 Nobody wants to be the person who has people piling up behind her while she undoes endless buckles from tall boots.<\/p>\n Then after you\u2019ve passed through the detector, it\u2019s much less stressful to slip shoes on again and grab your pricey laptop instead of gathering your belongings in a wad and heading for a bench area that\u2019s already packed with other overburdened passengers.<\/p>\n Plus, when you\u2019re racing to your gate, it\u2019s much easier in slip-ons than in heels!<\/p>\n 2. \u00a0Wear shoes that can be worn with socks.<\/strong><\/p>\n Save the flip-flops for the beach. \u00a0After you\u2019ve removed your shoes and you\u2019re walking through the busy metal detector area, a pair of socks as a barrier between your feet and that well-treaded area will make it so you\u2019re not already thinking about a shower before your trip has even begun.<\/p>\n \u00a03. \u00a0When it comes to accessories, think cloth instead of metal.<\/strong><\/p>\n Large chunky metal jewelry is a hassle in the security area.\u00a0 It has to be removed before going through the metal detector, and if you forget, you\u2019ll be waiting for TSA to use a wand over your favorite necklace or bracelet.<\/p>\n Put metal jewelry in your carry-on and wear a flowy scarf.\u00a0 The scarf can later be bunched up into a makeshift pillow on the plane or even used as a small blanket depending on the thickness of the material if things get chilly in flight.<\/p>\n 4. \u00a0Wear pants or a skirt that don’t require a belt.<\/strong><\/p>\n Since belts also have to be removed at security, when you\u2019re already unpacking that laptop from its case, removing your shoes, and taking off your jacket, there\u2019s enough to do without adding a belt into the mix.\u00a0 By choosing a pair of pants or skirt that doesn\u2019t require one, you\u2019ll be through the line that much quicker and with a little less hassle.<\/p>\n 5. \u00a0Nix the perfume and cologne.<\/strong><\/p>\n Standing in cramped lines, sitting elbow to elbow with strangers, and climbing over a sleeping seatmate mean sharing close-quarters airspace with lots of people.\u00a0 Be conscious of others, especially those who are sensitive to smells, and after your morning shower, give the perfume or cologne a day off.<\/p>\n 6. \u00a0Think layers.<\/strong><\/p>\n Planes have a way of going from oppressively hot to mind-numbingly cold in a matter of 20 minutes.\u00a0 It makes for a much more comfortable flight if you have a layer for every occasion.\u00a0 A tank top and cardigan, short sleeved shirt and sweater, or thin blouse and jacket give you options.<\/p>\n 7. \u00a0Dress comfortably but stylishly.<\/strong><\/p>\n While it can be tempting to roll out of bed for that 5 am flight and head to the airport in sweats, your chances of getting an upgrade are much better in something more appropriate for first class.\u00a0 It\u2019s not something that happens all the time, of course, but you can increase your odds by wearing something that looks well put together with a bit of polish.<\/p>\n 8. \u00a0Look at your layover destination(s) ahead of time and consider keeping a coat in your carry-on.<\/strong><\/p>\n If your beach vacation first has you stopping in a snowy mountain town for a layover, think about bringing your coat with you.\u00a0 Even though you won\u2019t need it in the land of margaritas and sunhats, if an overbooked flight or weather snafu get in your way, it\u2019s terrible to be stuck with only swimsuits and shorts.\u00a0 If your checked luggage goes on without you while the airline puts you up in a hotel overnight in a snow laden layover city, you\u2019ll be much happier with a coat at your disposal.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n What are your preferred outfits for travel days?<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Image Credit: Photos by Cadry
