Airplane Etiquette

by Holly Godbey

May 27, 2010

An interesting discussion arose recently about appropriate airline etiquette. Do you ever consider what you wear on an airplane? Perhaps you don’t because you think paying $12,000 for the business-class seat entitles you to wear whatever you want. But do you think so-and-so across the aisle paid the same amount to see you in your hot pink jumpsuit? Probably not. Back in the day, flying was a commodity — no matter what class you chose — and respectable attire was airline protocol. Here is a list of some first-class do’s and don’ts, along with some suggestions of comfortable yet classy attire. 1. DON’T wear your favorite pair of fuzzy slippers when boarding the plane. 2. DO bring a pair of modest slippers in your carry-on to change into after boarding, or wear a pair of classy flats. Leather ballet flats or boat shoes have the comfort and flexibility without the clash. Here are a few suggestions: – Women’s JCrew ballet flatMen’s JCrew boat shoeModest Women’s Dakota slipperMen’s Scuff Slipper 3. DON’T wear your favorite Champion sweatsuit or Juicy Couture jumpsuit. 4. DO bring a comfortable outfit to change into after boarding or wear a classy, comfortable outfit to the airport.  Here are a few suggestions: – Women’s Donna Karen jersey leggingsWomen’s wrap cardiganMen’s comfortable pinstripe linen pantsMen’s half-zip sweater These tips may sound silly to the paying customer, but you aren’t the only one flying to your destination today; and you certainly aren’t the only person expecting a comfortable, smooth, less-distracting flight. Happy flying! — Courtney Centeno, account executive
