Recent changes to airport security rules have had travelers asking what they should be wearing when travelling by air. Generally, anyone can still wear whatever they want to when riding a plane. It is just a matter of how much they are willing to spend stuck in airport security. To make decisions easier, here are some ideas of what you wear when travelling by air:
- Metal Free Clothes – Metal free clothes or those that have as little metal as possible will help breezing through airport security easier. Some people prefer dressing in track suits, but this isn't for everyone. A great option is to wear jeans and a simple tee. The metal in the jeans is easily ruled out and sometimes not even picked up by the metal detectors.
- Consider Comfort – This holds true for long cross country or international flights. Chances are that you will be stuck on a plane for prolonged periods of time. To promote comfort wear something that's made with a breathable fabric and clothes that don't cling too tight or are too loose.
