Other Clothing to Avoid on a Plane
Leggings aren’t the only clothing items that pose risks during flights. Here are some additional fashion mistakes that experts caution against:
- Shorts
Many travelers like to wear shorts on a plane, especially in the summer. However, a flight attendant on TikTok has pointed out that airplane seats aren’t always clean.
“You never know when the last time that seat was sanitized,” the attendant said. Wearing long pants creates a protective barrier between your skin and any bacteria that might be on the seat.
- High Heels or Flip-Flops
High heels can puncture an evacuation slide, and flip-flops make it difficult to move swiftly in an emergency. If you must wear heels for your trip, pack them in your carry-on and change into flats or sneakers for the flight. - Sandals in the Airplane Bathroom
A flight attendant has shared an unappealing fact about airplane bathrooms: the liquid on the floor is likely not just water.
