To ask for advice first a night flight?

Got given PJs when I flew business class with Qantas a couple of years back. I didn’t change into them but did keep them and wear them at home regularly, very comfy.

1. Avoid Coffee, tea etc. (and in my case chocolate)
2. Enjoy meal ( in my case a G&T, and mini red wine)
3. Noise Cancelling head or ear phones (in my case Apple airbuds Pro 2)
4. Neck Pillow
5. Eye masks

My only other tips for flying are...

1. Bring a wide necked insulated water bottle and fill it air side (ask for pint of ice from the bar)
2. Slip on shoes for security and flight
3. Non ferrous waist belt, so you don't have to take it off for security
4. Plastic bag for rubbish
5. small pack of wet wipes, to wipe table and arm rests down etc.
6. Get a window seat, at the back of the plane, slightly more space and empty seats tend to be a the back (if you're luck)

I find it weird no one has ever seen it - I have been given PJs in business class and I’ve seen people change into their own but no I wouldn’t bother. I just wear clothes so comfy they could be PJs - elasticated waistband trousers, sports bra, soft t shirt and cardigan easy to whip on and off.

I say wear present tense, haven’t flown long haul in a few years due to kids rudely using up all my disposable income and energy.

I've flown business class a few times and never been given pyjamas.

I've sometimes changed tops....

Yes if flying Qatar business they offer PJ’s and I always change if my plan is get some proper sleep in and ignore all the meals

For economy I tend to wear something comfy, make sure I bring eye mask, water bottle, flight compression socks, neck rest, ear plugs and then a fresh pair of pants and under-top to switch at the end of the flight to feel a bit more refreshed

Nobody outside of toddlers and this in first class who get the free snazzy pyjamas ever wear pyjamas! (That I've ever seen) comfy loose clothes with layer is the standard.

Even when I fly long haul First Class I don’t change into PJs. Probably 50% of the First cabin change, maybe 15-20% of Business and I’ve hardly seen anyone change in Economy. The PJs provided these days are not the best quality anyway (usually polyester).

I travel in something comfy but smartish so usually along the lines of Pleats Please loose wide leg trousers with a T-shirt (and silk blouse layered over the top) or a loose jersey dress (with leggings if I’m starting/ending somewhere cold). I always take my favourite pashmina (cashmere on one side, silk on the other side, so works well for both hot or cold flights) plus slippers (for shuffling to the toilet and back) and a small down pillow with a silk cover. Add a big silk eye mask (like the Drowsy ones which also cover your ears) plus hand cream, facial mist, lip balm etc and I have all I need. If I have a connection, I’ll usually try and grab a shower in the lounge (especially when doing the long Australia flights) and change my knickers and T-shirt then, plus clean my teeth etc. I do minimal freshening up in the plane toilets as they’re so cramped and usually pretty rank.

Edit: I also avoid wearing an underwired bra as the underwire can get a bit uncomfortable on really long flights. A soft bra is more comfy - and doesn’t set off the security scanners either.

I'm currently in Australia and had 2 night flights to get here. NOBODY changed into pyjamas. Ok maybe they do in first class where Singapore airlines apparently have pull down beds in their suites, but I'm not in that league.

Every time I've flown long haul overnight in business I've put on the pj's that the airline has provided. This is along with pretty much everybody else in the cabin.

If you fly business or first- yes it’s a thing. But economy or premium economy- haven’t seen that.

Only in first class with a kind of bed. Economy no way.

PJs would be odd. I would wear comfy day clothes like joggers.

You're my travel twin!

Absolutely change for a night flight if in business or first. A lot of airlines used to give pjs but now most don’t. But most people still bring them. You literally get into your pjs and go to bed. I never bother in economy though. No bed so no point. Comfy clothes are fine. And honestly? Whatever cabin you a travelling in, no one gives a shit.

I saw a whole family in silk pyjamas only last week! It just looked very odd, especially walking through Heathrow at 8am.

I wear wide leg trousers with thermals underneath in winter, or a long dress in summer.

No, you’ll be fine. Some airlines provide pyjamas in First Class but even in Business Class people tend to just sleep in whatever they’re wearing. I always wear loungewear so I’m comfy but don’t have to get changed before going to sleep. More time for drinking champagne and watching films!

Common in First to change, not that common in business and unheard of in economy.

I travelled first a couple of times on 14hr night flights and everyone changed into airline issued pjs, so I did too albeit on top of my vest. I had intended to wear joggers, vest and loose long sleeve t-shirt and flight socks. Did feel a bit awkward walking back from the airplane loo to my lie-flat seat though! I definitely think I slept better for it though.

I didn't bother on my other long standard cabin class haul flights, just took a change of clothes for changing into at the arrivals for a refresh.

Always brushed my teeth and washed & moisturised my face though on every night flight, as best I could, and wiped the sink after! And took my own eye mask and ear plugs.

I dunno about neck pillow back to front but please remember to pick it up when you leave the plane. I left my brand new neck pillow behind because it was the same colour as the seat. 🤣

No, it's weird. I even find brushing teeth and washing face in the toilet a bit gross.

I wear extremely stretchy loose trousers with a loosed cuffed ankle (so it doesn't drape on the toilet floor. A t shirt jumper or cardigan and a blanket scarf. crocs are good and some old socks that I leave on the plane.

I take miceller wipe and antibac wipes and wipe hands and tray and controls or screen and the do face with miceller one and stack on a rich face cream and lip balm. Hair brush. If I need to freshen up the baggage claim toilets are usually passable.

Take a small pouch to keep essentials (AirPods, brush drink etc) to hand and stash your bag in the overhead locker.

Pretty normal to change into PJs in business class. Some airlines provide them for long haul.

I don't change into PJs but usually change clothes just before landing so I can keep the PJs and give as presents

In business I've seen a few folk do it but not the norm, you used to be given PJs in BA first class (I only flew that once, air miles were a wedding gift) I still have the socks very comfy.

That said I really struggle to sleep on the plane anyway.

I stay in my comfy carefully chosen clothes.

Just comfy day clothes

I’ve not done many night flights but I did one last September from New York. I never saw anyone in jimjams and wondering how someone would get the opportunity to change into them. The most I do is remove my shoes but I don’t have slip slips in my hand luggage.

never changed into pyjamas but have taken a clean top to put on in the morning

the only people changing into pyjamas will be the folks in first class who get pyjamas provided

do take comfy clothing though, I’d take joggers and an oversized hoody
