Leaving on a jet plane~

[Marshall Banana]

Rye, wear pajamas just to spite him!

Rodarian, you'd almost* approve of the stu and I dressed the first few times we flew to meet one another. He'd wear a nice blue shirt and khakis, and I had a cute little blue dress, and it was like we were incognito starlets or something ;D




*I wore flipflops.

[Rye]

If I wore PJs in public, my Mom would yell at me and try to make me change, like I was a 5 year old who dressed themselves for the first time. xD

I ALREADY GOT MY OUTFIT PICKED, because I like to pretend that something nice is gonna happen to me when I get off the plane, like celebrity photo shoot! Oooh, I told you from my best side, darlin'~

I think it'll be too cold for sandals, so probably an easily slipped off pair of flats, a pretty new white camisole I bought, and a black cardigan, with jeans. It's a really surprisingly comfy outfit. Maybe a dress if it isn't English death weather. DO YOU APPROVE, RODARIAN? =D

I've been on a good few short flights. I could probably count them up but it's not worth the trouble. I enjoy flying, but my ears are horrible and don't pop. Nothing works and then I can't hear properly for days >(

Book/mp3 player I've never tried to use something with a screen like a laptop or DS.

I typically wear jeans on flights, rather than shorts, because it can get cold in the cabin. I'll also likely bring a t-shirt and then a small pullover or something, that I can take off if I get too hot.

I have no issues with people wearing pajamas, though. I haven't taken any flights less than 3 hours*, I don't think, so if you're going to be there for a while, you might as well be comfortable.

* Excludes connecting flights such as from Heathrow to EDI.

I approve a great deal! and I'll let Rubah slide cause she made the effort! And please call me Rod or Roddy!

I've flown a few times.

Flights (all return trips):
London - Crete
London - Cyprus
London - Tunisia
London - Bulgaria
London - Edinburgh

I don't mind the majority of the flight. The take-off and landing is painful for me, because I'm really sensitive to the pressure-change and it really really hurts my ears to the point of bursting into tears. but other than that, I don't mind it.

Unless there is turbulence (which I've only had on a couple of the flights I've been on), I find it fairly easy to sleep. It's a much smoother ride than a bus/train ride!

I actually really like airplane food xD most people I know, don't like it. but every in-flight meal I've ever had has actually been pretty nice! Especially the breakfast I had on the way back from Bulgaria at like 3am in the morning xD

I dress comfortably - and appropriately for the country I'm going to be landing in. Most of the time, I've been going somewhere on holiday to a hot country, so I've worn sandals/dresses.etc ... but Rye, as you're coming to England - I suggest warm clothes! It's been pretty chilly for the past few days... I've been getting by OK in cardi's and jumpers but tomorrow I'm going to buy a new leather jacket for warmth. I've seen a lot of people in coats already! I miss summertimes already!

Yea make sure you bring something warm/waterproof in your handluggage just in case!

[Mogi]

First airplane experience in two months and counting!
:</>D

[Levian]

I usually bring along some lengthy handheld game on plane rides. Harvest Moon: Friend of Mineral Town was my pick for when I visited BoB back in August and I didn't even manage to finish Spring season during both of the flights.

I've flown a few times P:

Once I got so scared 'cause we were near a storm so the plane was dipping and stuff and D:

I've been on probably dozens of flights, and outside of some annoying delays at Philly, I've had nothing but relatively good experiences. International flights especially tend to be pretty nice (I guess depending on the airline); on my last international flight (to France), we had decent food and individual mini-TVs in the back of the seat in front of us and a pretty nice show and movie collection.

The take-off and landing is painful for me, because I'm really sensitive to the pressure-change and it really really hurts my ears to the point of bursting into tears.

Start chewing gum right before takeoff. That helps to relieve the pressure. If you already do, then maybe try chewing 2 or 3 pieces to make your jaw work more.

A went to Europe from NY a few times to see my ex boyfriend.

short flights are less annoying for me personally. the long to europe ones are a real bothersome sometimes but also appreciated if it meant getting over there. heh. its real uncomfy. i get scared easily of airplanes. I recommend aisle seats because its less clauiphobia whatever you call that and gives you space to breath...it kinda makes you think you got more space to stretch your legs and all but you really dont...i would never wanna be squashed between two people or against the wall.

sitting in the back of the plane means more movement from the plane. i did that once and got sick. X_X

walking once in awhile helps a lot.

i recommend wearing stylish yet comfy clothes...i go in skirts a lot and slip on shoes for those security areas.

I never sleep on those flights...which is not nice. music helps a tooon to keep you from dying of boredom and the movies help a lot too.

I've been on short-haul (1-2 hours), medium-length (6-8 hours) and proper-long-haul (over a day including one 14 hour non-stop flight) flights. I don't mind short or medium length flights but the long-haul one is one that you don't want to have to do more than once in a short space of time if you can avoid it. Luckily it was pretty good service and there were bucketloads of channels to choose from. It was Auckland to London via Kuala Lumpur, for anyone interested. Then followed by a train to Edinburgh. Then carrying luggage all over Edinburgh to get banks, bus cards, etc. sorted out. THEN going home. Fun.

Anyway, for clothing I agree to be smart if you're meeting someone. If it's a short haul flight, wear whatever suits what you're doing at your destination. If it's medium haul, wear something comfortable that you'd wear in the streets. If it's a flight that's gonna be a very long one, bring a change of clothes.
