Many airlines have recently revisited appropriate attire worn by you if you want to fly with them. You may be denied boarding if your clothing is offensive, smelly or overly revealing! Shoes are mandated as well.

Airlines who enforce these codes are American, Delta, United, Southwest, Hawaiian and Spirit. And some foreign airlines are even more strict like Qatar who find casual wear not suitable for business class.

I pretty much wear the same outfit every time I fly. Especially if it is a long flight or a red-eye. Because my sneakers take up room in my carry-on (I never check luggage), I wear them and match them with a nice pair of active wear pants (I choose not to call them sweatpants for fear of denial), and a coordinating shirt and sweater. I hate to think that I’m going to have to change especially when this outfit matches my suitcase!

I have a friend who has invested in moreno wool travel clothes and I think I will have to save up and do the same. Apparently they are light weight and never smell! And I’m guessing they don’t make any t-shirts that have obscene sayings on them.

I’m planning a trip to Malawi in less than a month and my online inquiry indicated that women should not show their knees or wear trousers. Oh oh, I better look in my old boxes in the closet.

NO YES NO YES
