What do you wear on a long flight?

Always leggings, tshirt and layers over the top whether short or long haul.
if flying to a hot destination it’s usually aircon in the airport and in the transfer direct to the hotel which also has aircon. I can cope with being warm for the max 5 minute walk from the terminal to the transport. Or just take my jumper off if required.
We tend to do an early morning flight from the U.K., it’s always cold at 5am so I’m appropriately dressed.

This is exactly my plan for later this month when we fly to the Caribbean. It will be freezing and possibly snowy here when we depart and then arrive back. Whereas in the Carribbean it will be 28+.

Layers all the way. Plus very unglamorous compression socks.

I've only ever been upgraded on a flight once. DH and I were flying to the States with DC when they were about 6 and 8. Whatever the reason they singled us out for the upgrade, it certainly wasn't our clothes!

Joggers t shirt and sweatshirt. Just got off a 10 hour flight.

I went to an Asian Pac country half a dozen times in the past 18 months in Business each time. Everyone was wearing yoga trousers, trainers and hoodies/ sweatshirts. I usually run hot on planes so prefer a short sleeved t shirt and a light cardigan on my top half.

It amazes me when I see people in very short shorts on a long haul flight. I just can’t imagine standing around in an airport dressed like that

I think the penny drops for some about choice of clothing when they disembark at somewhere like London at 5AM on a January morning.....

Long haul you’ve got to blend between comfort, and nothing too long or loose to avoid touching the toilet floor when visiting the loo! (Made the mistake of long cardigan and very wide leg pants once)

I dress nicely but comfortably. I always want to look stylish, especially when I’m arriving at a hotel for the start of a holiday.

I would never wear a tracksuit in public unless I’m going to the gym. Looking great and being comfortable are not mutually exclusive.

It's his status that's getting him upgraded.

I have a lucky cotton shirt which I refer to as "The Shirt of Death" which i wear for all flights. Its a chequered pattern which concels the inevitable food spillages. A couple of flights ago I spilled a cup of Coca Cola down it & you couldnt tell.
I've had it for 20 years & its getting old & I'm looking for a replacement but its hard to find a cotton shirt with a suitable pattern & colour.

Generally jeans, t shirt and sweatshirt

I wear yoga leggings and top. I change on the plane though to fit the climate of where I’m flying to. Don’t want to be sweating hot in India or freezing cold in Canada!

In the airport and lounge I wear smart jeans, boots or white trainers, a shirt and a blazer.
On the plane I will change into Sweaty Betty Yoga Pants and a long sleeved tee shirt. I’ll have a large scarf in my bag too if cold and also use the bedding and socks provided.
When I land I put my jeans and shirt back on with some clean underwear from my bag. If it’s a really late flight I sometimes shower, put the Yoga Pants and tee on in the lounge bathroom, and cleanse and moisturise my face to save doing it on the plane.

Last time I went I wore wide legged black trousers and a matching t shirt (both jersey cotton material, elasticated waist trousers), with a long waterfall cardigan and slip on trainers on my feet (easy to get off and on on the plane).
I wouldn’t “dress up” as such but go for comfortable layers, a tracksuit is fine if that’s what you’re comfortable in.

For long longhaul (think Australia or west coast US) I'd always choose nice jogging bottoms or yoga trousers but always ones that are cuffed or narrower towards the ankle. Never wide leg as they're more likely to come in contact with the toilet floor!

There’s a whole spectrum of looks between a tracksuit and a business suit and heels.

You can do an awful lot standing on one leg in the toilet.

Also we flew first in BA London to Sydney once. The toilets were double the size, had a window and a vase of flowers.

Comfies always! I’m a terrified flier the least I can do is be comfortable in what I’m wearing

I mentally judge people wearing First Class p.j.'s in Business Class.
I've always worn at least one item from Primark on the handful of times I've flown First
Always dress for comfort.
No high heels....... if I ever get the experience of exiting via the emergency slide I want the ability to run like crazy once I'm on the ground..... so it's trainers for me.

Also aircraft and customer service used to be quite luxurious, so dressing up felt appropriate. Now we're crammed in, barely watered let alone fed, and hearded around like cattle. Comfort all the way.

FWIW when motorway service stations first opened people used to dress nicely to go there for Sunday Lunch.

Back in the Olden Days, of course.

Leggings, a loose-fitting t-shirt and a jumper or hoody. Anything comfortable, basically!

Just flown from Australia. I wore Sweaty Betty explorer trousers, a soft t-shirt, Sweaty Betty after class cropped sweatshirt (I like the thumbholes) and white trainers. My 4 teens were a vision in head to toe soft jersey/ graphic t-shirts. No dressing up here. Comfort all the way.

We sat near an older couple wearing Panama hats, linen blazers, bright chinos, white shorts and Tod’s driving shoes. They looked lovely but we were definitely comfier!

I fly to Australia annually but then do two internal flights straight away. So in the air about 36 plus hours. I wear light weight navy blue jersey harem pants, a baby blue long sleeve T-shirt plus a navy sweater and poncho. Plus socks and slip on shoes. I use pantry liners with extras in my bag and I gave wet wipes and dry shampoo for Hugo. For me the same colours look more put together and I make heavy use of the litttravel toiletries.

Galactic empire officials? 😂

Jersey dress over leggings. With extra layers as appropriate for either end of the journey.
