    I work at a cafe in an airport, and although I never fly, some things I'd also recommend, and from a little past experience:
    1. Wear shoes you can easily take on and off. Idk about Europe, but here in the US going thru security, you need to take them off, unless you are part of pre-check, which you can sign up for online I believe.
    2. Bring your own empty water bottle! Since any liquids over 3oz aren't allowed through TSA, and since you want to stay hydrated, this way you don't have to pay like $3 for a water bottle afterwards. Just fill it up once you're through security.
    4. Obviously don't bring skincare or makeup that is over the allowed fluid ounces either, otherwise it will get thrown out sadly.
    5. Bring some sort of cardigan or jacket to wear bc it's always freezing in the airport, in any season. Layering is your friend.
    6. Don't be like me and only find out during a 14 hr flight to know if you get air sickness; if you ever got car sick as a kid, take Dramamine before your flight takes off. We wouldn't want to ruin our flight (or clothing) puking, very unladylike lol.
    7. Give yourself enough time. Not just to catch your flight, but if you plan to eat at the airport, make sure you have enough time to check your teeth and use the restroom before your flight takes off.
    Happy travels!!

      Because a lot of people don't like being called out that they're not doing their absolute best to improve themselves physically, financially etc. As sad as it is, there are a lot of people who don't want the finer things in life, or some that Do want those things but they don't think they're worthy of them and for someone like Ana who is blunt and honest about how you are the reason you live the way you do whether it's good or bad, it rings truth with them and they're not ready to face it.

    I want to add that on longer flights, you may become sleepy. The thought of a stranger watching me sleep is creepy. I bring my large dark sunglasses, and put them on when I feel sleepy. Hides my eyes perfectly. I also wear a nice large scarf that can serve as a coverup for my front, my arms and legs. I think being covered, especially when sleeping during the flight is important. Lastly, my motto is when traveling, “Keep it classy!”

    wonderful video! true story, my husband who travels a lot for business told me one day "I'm going to start dressing up more when I travel because everytime I'm dressed up people just treat me differently. They even allow me extra pounds." so I started doing the same. The difference has been amazing. One day I was over the pounds and they allowed them, then the same day I left the passport on the counter and that nice girl came all the way to the plane to give it to me. Another day there was a huge delay and a lady that I had had a few words with saw me and invited me to wait with her at the bar. She did not let me pay for anything and that included diner and wine. Goodness, try these things they do work. I'm upping my travel game :)

      In October I was returning from London to Portland, Oregon, and my bag was four pounds over the weight limit……because I didn’t have a good way to weigh it before I left. The woman at the counter let it go. Why? Idk, but I was polite, I laughed with her, we exchanged pleasantries and I was dressed nicely. Dressing nicely doesn’t need to involve lots of money, but it goes a long way if you add politeness with it. I was even given a better seat on the plane….with more leg room. Dress nicely, be polite and respectful…..it will get you further than being shabbily dressed and rude. Happy travels

I remember touring Washington D.C. in the early 70’s wearing my dresses and Mary Jane’s. I was 8 years old. Every other tourist family had on shorts and tennis shoes. We even had photographers stop us to take pictures for magazines, telling us it was because our family was so well dressed. I’ve taken that advice throughout my life. My 90 year old mama still dresses nicely, even though she goes very few places.

But somehow I ended up with a sister who dresses like a slob in sweats and XL T shirts with animals or sayings on them. She’s getting ready to go to Europe for her first time and I was trying to explain to her how to dress and act, but she says she doesn’t care. How we came out of the same womb I do not know.
      In high school I was voted best dressed. The local shoe store owner said his business suffered when I went away to college because when I’d buy shoes then the other girls wanted them too . Maybe I was an influencer before there was social media.
      No matter, I still carry what my parents taught me to this day. I just feel better about myself when I put in the effort to look nice.

    If you don’t want to bring a jacket on to the plane, I suggest bring your shawl wrap scarf in your tote bag, during long haul the plane sometimes can get cold. Bring your wrap scarf during vacation can be so useful to cover your arms/ legs when you are visiting holy places such as cathedrals, churches , temples, mosques. You can even use it when you are feeling the chills by the beach, outdoor restaurants etc. Best thing about a wrap scarf is that it is less bulky and light weight.

    I realize I’m finding this video a bit late but Ana does a really good job at highlighting the point that dressing for airport travel is not easy. It can be done in a classy way but there are a lot of points to consider. One point I would add is to consider safety, especially if you travel with things of value like expensive handbags or jewelry. Try not to wear things that scream, “take me!” to pick pockets. For example, jewelry with loose clasps or handbags that are easy to reach into. In addition to that, always maintain situational awareness. Never let your guard down no matter how often you travel or where.

While I was enjoying a street dance, I noticed this aging don juan-like man perusing the public /tourists, trying to fish out the wealthy ones. His eyes stopped on me for a moment, then lost interest and moved on. Lol! That was so funny, considering I was, actually, a pretty well-off American. Lol. Good riddance! Lol.

    Devil’s advocate: I come from a family who has always been “old money” and my parents always told me to wear activewear especially gym shoes on a plane. In the event of an airplane emergency, it is the smartest thing to be prepared for that. Also, you want to be comfortable in long plane rides, so I think that athleisure works fine for that. I agree with you that trousers are nice but wearing high heels on a plane is looked down upon. I purchased your school of affluence program and am starting the courses today.

      I agree that comfort is important on a plane, but I also have to agree that athleisure wear does not belong in none athletic activities and especially flying. There are so many cute non-athletic sneakers such as superga which would could be worn with jeans. Also, I often find that when I travel I have to wear shoes that would take up too much space such as block heel ankle boots rather than sneakers that are easier to pack. In the extremely unlikely event (less likely than a car accident) of an emergency athleisure would be better, yes, but would you apply that logic to other occasions?

    • @kimberlyplacencia6652

      I think it’s a personal choice. My MAIN priority in an airplane is to be comfy. I have a cute outfit ready for my post flight (normally when I arrive to the hotel I’ll change) to me I am my most comfortable wearing atheleisure. It’s a style now there’s a difference from wearing actually gym clothes vs cute styled “gym” clothes. I appreciate your view but I don’t think it’s appropriate to say “you can’t” or “you shouldn’t” just like you said about shoes, the whole outfit is a personal preference. About the people around me. I personally do not want to speak to them. I like to read a book or watch a movie. If I were to mingle and socialize yes I might consider dressing up a bit more. But to me traveling is traveling, not my destination.

The bag is around 20cm. Some wide pants with bags and the somewhat thick cotton fabric that are very good, I did not feel cold and very comfortable, in the bathroom the hem is folded so that they do not drag on the floor.

    I always travel Business Class. It’s expensive these days but it really is worth it for many reasons on a long haul flight especially. It also relates to how you dress on flights, From checking in to arrival at your destination the extra expenses turns travel from a nightmare to a to,érable and even restful option. This also greatly influences what I can wear. First off, one thing Anna did not discuss is the importance of looking elegant when you arrive at your hotel! Especially a five star hotel. You’d be surprised how often you receive a nicer room, an upgrade, and better amenities when you arrive well dressed. I do not wear high level designer hand bags (every upscale woman wears one but your $4000 bag doesn’t help if you arrive in a track suit or athlesure wear. I have higher end luggage, all matched. But most important, when I arrive, I am dressed in lovely trousers with nice top, blazer or cashmere sweater, and if it’s warm (but it’s a European city and you’re going to need it anyway) I carry a nice lightweight coat that looks well with trousers or even a LBD. This is where business class helps. First off, in BC, the Flight Attendant always hangs up your coat and/or blazer. Sometimes I change in the restroom immediately, before the flight even leaves the ground, into sweat pants, a T-shirt and a warm top that I can take off. I bring my own hanger and hang my clothes, the FA puts it in the closet. About an hour before landing, I retrieve my clothes and change before the restrooms get crowded as landing time approaches. The other advantage to business class is the amount / size cabin luggage.if you take on the right carry on you can pack your essentials on the top, a few days worth of clothes in case the airline loses your luggage (happens often) so you are not stranded. You don’t need to impress the flight attendant but as an American, arriving a foreign city, arriving well dressed and being as polite as possible has been immeasurably beneficial. Bonus tip. Although it costs more to arrange a hotel car and driver, you will be treated much better upon arrival. You often get to check in privately and not stand in a queue. Trust me. Dressing elegantly when you arrive makes a huge difference.

    When I travel I like to put my day outfits in a gallon plastic bag along with the underwear in the jewelry that I will be wearing during the day, and then my night outfits in a separate gallon plastic bag with accompanying jewelry and undergarments.
    The reason why I do this, is because one day when I was stuck in an airport overnight and got up in Belgium 18 hours later, they neglected to tell everyone that they left the luggage outside in the rain. 18 hours later, all of my clothing stunk like mold! Every bit of it.
    I had to buy a new outfits! It was the worst disaster.

    Bags that actually close (totes, etc. with a zip!) are always a good idea for travel. When I send my bag through the xray or put under the seat or overhead bin things won't fall out and get lost.
    I'm also a fan of trousers! I actually don't think leggings are very comfortable. And I totally agree about workout wear anywhere but the gym. To me regular clothes feel better and they certainly look better.
    I like to bring a big "blanket scarf." I have different weights for different seasons. I'm flying to NY at Christmas (5 hour flight) and will probably use my cashmere stole. It's big enough to cover my body like a blanket and I'll be warm on the plane. I can use it throughout the trip as a wrap or scarf.
    Another favorite are these bras I found that are the shape of a typical sports bra, but without the tight support. Very soft and stretchy and no binding. The straps being wide don't dig into my shoulders. I love these for the plane. Feels like wearing nothing.

    Before the 1960s, everyone used to dress up for travel (airplane, train, etc). From the rich to the poor, and now people wear pajamas, sweatshirts, shorts that exposes everything and gym clothes. My late grandmother mentioned it several years ago. I usually travel in a casual chic dress or white jeans/blouse/loafers. I have a beautiful blush pink leather sneakers that look stylish. I have a spine injury from the military, so heels are extremely painful for me. Now I have great options. Great video!! Much needed advice. I love your channel!

    It’s taken me a while to figure out what to wear but so far, this is what I’ve been comfortable with for 5-6 hour flights.
    1. An extra long (ankle length) thin wool cardigan which flows very elegantly
    2. A cotton white or neutral blouse/long sleeve top
    3. Trousers (I recommend the on the fly pants from lululemon)
    3. Bag is longchamp le pliage tote since it’s nylon, washable, zips up and has comfortable handles. Plus I’m not worried about it getting dirty. I’ll often put my nicer handbag inside
    4. I wear a small crossbody (like a wallet on chain) for money, cash, passports
    5. I always bring a blanket shawl
    6. Shoes are bit tricky, but I would agree that loafers or flats are best

    Because of the small risk of losing a bag during a tight transit, it is always a good idea to pack your valuable and cannot-live-without items into your carry on bag. Airtags are great to track your checked luggage, too- you drop one into your bag and when you get to your destination you can track your checked luggage as it makes its way to the baggage carrousel.

    I just found out THE BEST thing to wear for long-haul flights- a wrap dress! You can sit comfortably however you try be comfortable, easy to change from when you arrive a day after to your destination. I wore it with high boots with zippers on the side, super helpful running to and from terminals and gates, gives a tight hug on your legs; just take them off if you need too, just make sure you have some decent long socks underneath as you cover with a blanket 😁. And yes...compression socks your doctors recommend.

    As someone who works with fabrics, if you are looking for breathable clothing, I recommend looking for clothing with a higher percentage of natural fibers to synthetic fibers. Polyester is not a breathable fiber, and especially if you're heading somewhere on the warmer side, natural fibers will be far more comfortable

    I mostly travel in the autumn /wintertime, and usually by train; I discovered that a good-fitting dress is my perfect way to dress while travelling. It's comfortable, not restricting in any way, looks chic and elegant. And I always wear heels, but not high heels; that's just a personal preference, because I don't like wearing flats at all (actually, same goes for trousers in general 🤔). I think everyone has to find her "travelling uniform", something that's comfortable, but still on the elegant side.

    @noraalosily57 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I agree with most, except for two points: the pants and the shoes. Sneakers are must, shoes without socks are not recommended, you may need to take off your shoes, and you don't want your bare feet on the airport or the airplane floors. Also, socks provided during flight can be used on top of your socks to protect them from dirt, otherwise they are usually wide. For pants, wearing any pants with wide hem is impractical; they will clean the restrooms floors. Elegant joggers and trousers with narrow hem will work though. I have traveled very long flights, from very hot to very cold, and vice versa, and these are my two points.

    I carry a matching Tumi carry-on and matching tote in a navy blue. My extra pair of shoes, sweater or layering items and makeup, water bottle, book/ipad, chargers and a small cross body bag go inside the tote. Sometimes I cheat and keep the cross body on and tuck it behind me so they don't see it when I board. It depends how stuffed my luggage is. I often do that on my way home from a trip. I can travel for any length of time out of this carry-on but only if I don't have any special events to attend or need certain athletic gear for hiking or scuba diving. Then I must check a bag in. I hate to check in anything so I try to plan those activities when I travel for more than a month.

I am 36 and remember my mother getting my brother and I new clothes to wear to fly or pick people up from the airport. Now that I travel a lot for work I find myself looking like an exhausted slob at the airport and it makes me sad. I am in the aviation field and consider dressing nice for aviation a kind of gratitude. I remind myself this now especially as a pilot flying recreationally even at small country airports.

    1. Always keep a lookout . You never know what kind of person someone is ,so keep an eye out, without being too extreme.
    2. Wear colors that are neutral . Its pleasing to the eye . Be considerate of people who will be around you .
    3. Respect cultures and people.
    4. PLEASE don't shout , talk loudly or do anything inconsiderate/rude.
    5. Wear appropriate,comfortable clothing that is suitable for your body .
    6. Wear breathable fabrics .
    7. Wear sneakers . It's the best bet .
    8. Please don't wear leggings . It looks very weird. There's more comfortable pants out there.
    9. If you do insist on wearing leggings,wear a longer top or tie a jacket around your waist.
    I can't think of any more right now , sorry!

If you're wearing thin summer clothes cause you're traveling to a hot place you can tie it around your purse and it will look pretty and then on the plane you can put it around your neck to keep you warm. This also helps when you want to fall asleep cause you can put it around your lower face and you won't take the risk to have ur mouth open and be drooling on your sleep. HAHAHAHAH

    I always travel in my hiking boots. No matter where I go I know I will need them. I don't pack them as they take up too much room and I'm a carryon bag traveler only. So yes they take a minute to take on and off as security, but that minute is worth it to me to have my cherished hiking boots with me. I have worn them all over the world. it's never been a fashion issue, as they are stylish and I keep them in excellent condition. I take them off in flight and slip on ballet flats which I keep in my leather tote for during the flight. For me, shoes are critical to travel (i have terrible feet.).
