What to wear on long haul flight to Asia via Kuwait ?

5 replies

I am travelling to Asia via Kuwait and will be changing planes, and have the possibility of a shower & fresh clothes in the airport in Kuwait.

Normally I would wear some wide legged linen trousers I bought years ago from primark but they don’t appear to stock them.

I just need something modest, especially as I am travelling on my own, comfy for two 6 hr + flights and cool for when I arrive at my destination ( humid , hot)

Any suggestions?

If you aren't leaving the airport in Kuwait you can wear what you'd like.

I recently bought some lovely wide leg full length cotton culottes from White Stuff for a long haul flight, minimal creasing and lovely and cool when we landed. I wore them with a cotton three quarter sleeve Breton ( I get chilly in flight) and took a neat little cardigan as well. They all folded up really small if I had changed and needed to put them in hand luggage. Also very modest no flesh apart from fore arms on display, We are traveling to the Middle East later in the year and I had this in mind when I bought them. Hope that helps. Have a great trip!

Oh yes, that sort of thing sounds perfect. I only get 7 kg hand luggage, so packing small is important, thank you

Wide legged linen blend trousers in Next currently.
I travel through the Middle East in wide legged jersey trousers, and a long sleeved teeshirt (and abaya scrunched up in the bottom of my hand lugage for when i get home)- I am somewhat accustomed to the temperatures here tho.

Don't wear hot pants and a cami vest, but Kuwait will be fine with trousers or skirt and a top.

Went into Asda and bought some wide legged linen trousers with a drawstring / elasticated waist. Sorry of dusty pink & very soft linen ( blend I think). Going to pop into Hennes & buy a slouchy t shirt & I already have lots of cardigans.
I am going to wear denim shorts to the European & Asian airports, as it’s going to be hot & I like all the pockets. Sorted! Thanks for the tips!
