Together as a group of editors, we traveled a ton since the beginning of 2022. Some of us even hopping on more than 30 flights in a span of a yearand others have have traveled to more than 30 countries. All these flight hours have helped our team perfect the art of packaging (hello, have you heard of 54321 tips for light packaging?) and the art of airport attire—trust us, airport style is one Thing. But we cannot achieve all of our expertise without practicing some good trial and error first. Speaking of bugs, don’t forget to check three items tourists bring but never wear. Take it from us, there’s a definitive list of items we consider the worst airport clothing.
We’d love to capture those fond memories far away, instead, we’re sharing our biggest airport outfit mistakes. Seriously, learn from our mistakes. Ranked high on the list — and something we’ve all done unfortunately at some point — is 100% cotton “rigid” jeans when flying. If you’ve ever sat cramped in the middle seat on a long flight, you can imagine how uncomfortable a pair of uncomfortable jeans can be.
Read up on our major airport dress code violations so you don’t make the same mistakes we did.
