Dressed to kill
Dress appropriately for any flight. Along with comfort, you will have less risk towards the various health complications of long-haul flights.
COFFEE, Tea or Me? by Trudy Baker, Rachel Jones, and Donald Bain depicts the lives of two lusty young fictional airline stewardesses. The book, published in 1967, was written to emphasise the "sexy" parts of the job. It had been an expression of the swinging 60s.
Then, men and women boarded an aeroplane in their finery,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], sipped champagne, and dined on caviar. Movies made in that era glamourised flying. Passengers appeared well-groomed in their flight,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], indulged in witty and intelligent repartee, and arrived at their destination with no stitch or strand of hair unnatural. Some say those were the golden times of flying.
Everything has changed. Half a century on, flying is nearly without exception, a torturous experience. Three hundred or so passengers are tightly squeezed together with hardly any leg, elbow, or spine room, with what is termed "cattle class". Interminable waits to use the bathroom . add to the indignity.
The fortunate ones running a business and first class have it a bit better, although not much. Thirteen hours on the non-stop flight, inhaling oxygen-depleted, dry, recirculated air will render the hardiest in a class to feeling and looking just like a wilted vegetable.
Tea and coffee continue to be served, but "or Me?" is now considered totally inappropriate. An air stewardess or air hostess has become properly known as the gender-neutral flight attendant. To have champagne and caviar on a long haul flight inside a first class seat would set you back about RM35,000 these days.
Hence, I'm still trying to figure out why my doctor friend (who should know better) boards a plane (for any long or short flight, whether it is economy or business class) wearing a lounge suit and tie! Is it to become stylish? Surely not. A suit will almost certainly crumple during a flight and a tie goes askew. Coffee and wine may splash on to a shirt as happens very often during air turbulence.
Perhaps he together with attired passengers hope to have an upgrade from economy to business class or from business to top class. It's not going to work. One way of getting upgrading would be to know some hotshot in the airline administration or even the head honchos within the cabin and cockpit. Another way is pure luck. Your class of seats have been overbooked and all passengers arrive for that flight,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Is my friend attempting to impress the passport control officers, the security personnel, the cabin crew,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and the fellow passengers? He won't go far. Within this practical, anti-elitist and discerning world, an inappropriately dressed person will probably seem a country bumpkin on his maiden flight dressed up in the only suit he owns.
You will find three elements regarding how to dress appropriately for any flight. They are comfort,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], comfort,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and luxury. The more comfortable you are,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the better you look. It is simple to combine comfort with style. A set of loose fitting jeans (if at all possible with an elasticated waistband and therefore, no belt) can get you through most flights and many security checks.
Avoid wearing sweat pants, tight-fitting polyester pants,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], or supertight skinny jeans that don't give much breathing room. Jeans combined with a fundamental tee-shirt and over-shirt or sweater alllow for an excellent, casual, chic travel ensemble. Your tee-shirt should be cotton and loose fitting. Temperatures can alter on your journey from the port of departure, through the flight as well as on arrival. Dress using the idea of layering up and layering down in your mind to adjust to these temperature changes.
Wear slip-on soft shoes for convenience and comfort. It will help with getting through security. Alternatively, a good pair of walking shoes or cross training sneakers is going to do as well. You may need to walk between 50 to 400 meters to alter gates or terminals during your stopover in a few airports. Should you remove your shoes during a flight, please keep the socks on in consideration for your fellow passengers.
Remember, leisure-wear saying "expensive" and "appropriate" tells a lot about your taste and judgement. It is the same for ladies: jeans which elegant tee shirt. High-heeled shoes and stilettos are obviously a no-no. I still see many a wannabe model in heels traipsing precariously to the toilet during a flight. It jogs my memory of the woman wearing lipstick, make-up, and perfume before going for any Hash cross-country run or a bout in the gym.
If you're not comfortable throughout a long flight, you are likely to fall with a number of from the following stress-related ailments: pharyngitis (a sore throat), aphthous ulcers (painful, yellowish mouth ulcers), herpes simplex labialis, rhinitis (running nose), constipation, diarrhoea, gastritis, flatulence, vaginal itch (because of overgrowth of bacteria and fungus),[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and cystitis (urinary tract infection).
Probably the most serious condition associated with the prolonged immobility of a long term flight is deep vein thrombosis (DVT). This is actually the formation of the blood clot, or thrombus, in the deep veins, usually within the leg. DVT has been known to occur following long haul airline travel and was dubbed "economy class syndrome". the blood clot has traveled in the leg vein to the lung. The victim becomes breathless and could die of acute lung failure.
That do you think is a more likely victim of travel-related DVT and it is complications? My doctor friend inside a constrictive badly fitting suit having a tightly knotted necktie or the smartly dressed traveler in soft, sensible, stylish clothes?
I asked my son, who's in the corporate world, if there were cases of him or his colleagues making a dash in the airport arrival hall to the boardroom all dressed up in a suit with no minute to space? He explained it is the exception and it is usually unfortunate junior guy that has to keep to such an impossibly tight schedule.
After i next travel with my doctor friend, I shall bring along compressive stockings,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], heparin, and aspirin. The oxygen I can get on the aircraft. I may yet save his life.
