Bearing in mind that it's quite cool here, cool on the plane and and in the 30's at destination?

I tend to wear comfortable clothes and take layers and a warm jumper plus warm socks to put on the plane.
A warm scarf also helps. :)

Burnished where is that photo from please? Love those trousers!

DD suggested I wear the usual yoga pants on the flight and have a tube skirt rolled up in my hand luggage for the meeting.

But then I would need to wear the right top and sandals for the meeting which would look odd with yoga pants Confused. Though I suppose what I look like on the plane doesn't matter.

Sandy - I love jumpsuits and I agree they are super comfy but the one thing I would say, having had this issue myself when on trains (because I'm wearing them a lot for work this summer) is that it's a bigger going to the loo in a small space. And plane toilets are tiny. And even if you are in business, you may well be using the economy toilets (certainly on virgin planes there is no difference between the economy and upper class toilets). And towards the end of a long haul flight the toilets can get a bit...unpleasant. I'm not sure I would want to be getting out of a jumpsuit sufficiently to use the facilities in that sort of environment (also it would be WELL chilly).

I always like to turn up glam to the airport even if I'm on easy jet lol Grin
On my recent flight to HKG I took comfy joggers, a stretchy shirt warm hoody.
Got changed after I'd eaten then 30 mins before landing I wash, re apply make up clean my teeth and change back into my heels & outfit Smile

I'm always boiling hot on planes. We're going away in July to a hot place. I'm wearing a sleeveless navy dress with a hot pink cardi and hessian Tom's on my feet. No leggings or tights. Kids will be in shorts and tshirts and Crocs as they find planes hot, too.

MozzchopsThirty · 17/06/2016 17:38

Yes to whoever said clean knickers too

PacificDogwod · 17/06/2016 17:41

A jumpsuit? Confused
How on earth do you contort yourself enough to get it off in order to do a wee in a tiny airplane toilet?

I'm clearly doing it all wrong Grin

Burnished, I'd love to know where those trousers were from too Smile

Plane loos are always vile by the end of a long haul flight.

I would never wear a maxi skirt, flip flops or any such thing Shock.

Buttwing · 17/06/2016 17:54

Howabout and Pacific they are hush harem trousers.

PacificDogwod · 17/06/2016 17:56

Ooh, nice, thank you Smile

notagiraffe · 17/06/2016 18:01

I'd wear soft plain palazzo pants (compression socks underneath) with a vest and a soft loose jersey top over it with a cashmere pashmina and ballet pumps or wedges you can slip on or off.

Doobigetta · 17/06/2016 18:01

Cotton maxi dress with leggings under and jumper over. Dispense with leggings and jumper before you land (bonus points for doing so while seated). Has the added advantage of no waistband to dig in while you're trying to get comfy on the plane. And flat shoes. Cannot understand people flying in heels unless they are doing there and straight back for work.

Howaboutthisone · 17/06/2016 18:15

Thank you!

HermioneWeasley · 17/06/2016 18:51

Another one boggling at a jumpsuit on a plane - you'll have to take it off and it will all drag along the piss soaked toilet floor. Just no.

SpringSpringSpring · 17/06/2016 21:05

Just for comfort it would be a jersey maxidress, big soft cardigan, scarf to double up as blanket, sliders (with big socks in a bag)

sandysquash · 17/06/2016 21:17

I'm a not confused as to how anyone gets their jumpsuit on the floor? Surely you just wiggle it down and keep it round your knees, and I'm not particularly svelte either!

Pacific, the photo is from the Hush website.
