My father told me "You should always dress your best when you fly on an airplane for 2 reasons. 1 you never know who you're going to meet on the plane. And 2 you never know if you're going to make it off the plane."

[jmgaming]

I feel like one major reason for the dress code nowadays is the TSA checks. Taking shoes and belts off to make that process longer for everyone has made a bigger justification for wearing sweats and sandals

[arielmscisney]

I've been wearing dress shirts and pants w/ties since I got my first job at 17. To this day I only wear T-shirts when I'm at the gym or traveling for extended times in cramped places. For reference, I was born in 1994, it's very apparent I don't follow modern fashion trends, and I love it.

All the advice about dressing in layers and dressing for versatility I agree with completely.

Because before only rich people could fly, and today every peasant can fly

My dad says this all the time!! He commented that I dress like people in the 50's when I travel. I hate looking like a slob.

[mikeknowles]

In spite of the downward spiral of the standard of dress during air travel I always try to stay sharp looking. You'd be surprised how many people strike up conversations when you look like a pro and I've even met and talked to a few celebrities. You can stand out from the crowd. I'll let you in on a secret. When there are openings in first class the flight attendants have the discretion to upgrade people and they will always pick someone who looks better and acts like a pro traveler.

[mrSamirsri]

What determines my Dress Code:
• First things first- whatever I wear should be appropriate even during an emergency.
• Comfort is next. In this cotton is the best thing to wear.
• What I wear should get me past security without having to strip.
• I need lots of pockets to carry all those things which have clinged on us.

But yes, I agree that one should wear clean and crisp clothes. One can look sharp even in casual wear.

Good video.
Thanks

Namaste from India 🙏

When I was younger (HS/College), I would travel in sweats, hoodie, etc because I didn't care. These days, the confidence and energy I have when wearing nicer clothing is addictive. I find myself talking with others on the plane more frequently. It's fascinating hearing others stories. Thanks for the video!

[janlibourel]

Antonio, you really hit it out of the park this time! This "comfort" rationale has always eluded me. Wearing a properly tailored suit or sport coat is scarcely less comfortable than sweats. (The idea of wearing pajamas in public would be inconceivable to me!) I can recall returning directly from a trade show wearing the charcoal pinstripe suit I wore while working the show. While I was waiting for my wife to pick me up at the airport, people were staring at me as if I were wearing George Washington's uniform! I am old enough to remember when air travel was an elegant, gracious experience. I now refuse to travel anywhere by air!

[garmtpug]

As a woman I always dress nicely, but comfortably when flying. Too many people use the excuse that it's uncomfortable to "dress up" and fly. Well, it is very possible to look polished and be comfortable at the same time, as well as breeze through TSA! I really dislike the whole sloppy look that so many people have decided looks fine in public.

[blakemcnamara]

I still dress up when I travel by plane or train. Yes it's a hassle sometimes but it builds character and shows that you respect yourself and those around you.

[sparkyblazeup]

If the plane goes down, whatever you are wearing will be your ghost outfit forever . . .

[yining]

Personally reasons:

1) the airplane is filthy. I’m not too keen on wearing all my nice stuff to the airplane where someone is just going to spill tea, coffee, or coke on it.

2) security checks. I’m not going to be wearing my nice shoes, belt, and jacket just so I can take it off and put it back on at the security checks.

3) comfort. If I’m going to be stuck in a box for 12 hours, the last thing I want is to be wearing clothes that look nice, but will make me sweat or otherwise uncomfortable.

[blobfishgunner]

It's rare that I travel without a tie and jacket if I'm flying. TSA and other airport workers are a lot more polite if you look put together. Additionally (especially in the summer) my dress clothes are the largest clothing items I'm bringing on the plane. Wearing them in the airport and on the plane frees up extra space in a carry-on and can sometimes do away with the need for a garment bag on short trips. Personally, I've found that a worn-in pair of slacks is about as comfortable as sweat pants.

[danielmcintyre]

I dress in a sport coat, dress shirt, comfy slacks and non complicated shoes for going thru security. I bring a book to read. I'm single and have been approached by a few women in my time. When I get to me seat, I introduce myself to the 1 or 2 people that are seated next to me. I usually end up having some good conversations. Lastly I apologize in advance if I happen to fall asleep and start snoring! LOL

[Nacoinini]

Hi Antonio, here in Europe we have these economy airlines where their seats on some of these kind of aircraft are so tight and close to each other, wearing formal clothes makes it harder to get seated comfortable, additionally they have no option to 1st and/ or business classes, I know I had to do it cause of my work. Thanks for the video.

[JoseValdez-tbnf]

I was surprised you didn't mention 911 and how much that changed the air travel experience. The extra hoops the TSA put us through since then was a major change and I believe contributes to less stylish dress. I actually was hoping for some tips on what to wear when traveling like loafers instead of Sandals for easy removal at security or specific types of fabric for comfort AND style yet less"casual", etc

[ROMANTIKILLER]

Something I find quite amusing about comfortable clothes is that, unlike the perception of most these days, decently made suits are extremely comfortable and practical: they allow to dress in layers by easily removing the jacket if it's too hot, they have plenty of pockets to keep all the needed stuff when moving around, and their trousers are softer and less tight than denim jeans if one has to be sitting and standing for hours. Maybe get a polo shirt under it if it's warm and it's a perfect combination of style and comfort. And even loafers are so much better for walking than flip flops, and for colder weather good Chelsea boots are super comfy and easy to remove if needed.
I realized that during my first business trips for work and started applying it to some of my leisure travels too.

[adamsamuelroth]

The primary reason why I stopped dressing up is dealing with security. You have to take off your shoes, then your belt, and then your jacket. Then you have to empty your pockets. It's just easier to where sweats with no pockets and carry everything in your carry on. Then you get through security super fast.

[andrewmcgalliard]

Hey Antonio
Love the channel.
Speaking as an Australian - we are at least 8-14 hours to a hub, before we travel onto Europe or the US (or arriving Asia/Mid-East). Casual, even in Business Class, is the only sensible option.
