    I have a pair of linen trousers I like to travel in. Crease like crazy but are so comfortable.

    Tracky dacks, (tracksuit trousers!) or as above, linen pants, vest top & a zip top, with flip flops (don't forget socks though - for the plane !) Before arriving, swap the bottoms over for a skirt/shorts which I take in hand luggage.
    Oh, & don't forget to take the socks off - lol, not a good look!
    :D I am in the future you know...

    No this is Superman's apprentice - he doesn't qualify until he wears the knickers over the jeans.

    I actually take my jim jams and change on the plane (wear jeans and a tee-shirt and get changed).

    That way when I get off the plane, I have a nice pair of clean clothes I can wear.

    I also take my toothbrush with me to clean my teeth.

  • Usually some linen trousers, anything loose and comfy. I usually wear layers on the top as i get hot and cold on planes. Nice warm socks are essential and i always have a change of underwear, a toothbrush and some moisturising wipes in my hand luggage.

    I wear comfy trousers.
    Usually the bulkiest pair of shoes/boots I've got (so they aren't in the suitcase).
    I would usually wear a T-shirt and fleece so that I can be comfortable if it's hot or cold.

    I gave up years ago trying to arrive at the airport all smart - even for business trips. I wear a pair of yoga/track bottoms that are thin but don't go too baggy on me with a matching jacket. I change into jim jam bottoms if the flight is really long. But the most important piece of clothing other than my hairdryer that I would always take with me is a microfleece. They fold up real small, are warm and cosy and invariably it is the most worn item I ever take with me. Happy travelling.
