“In before people post about dressing up to fly back in the day. So strange how people keep selling this outdated dress uncomfortably mindset. Form over function.”


Form over function, eh?

Every time I fly I wear a sport coat: The inside left breast pocket holds my tall leather wallet with my passport, printed itinerary, rental car documents and a printed ticket...my wallet is in the other inside breast pocket, the outside coat pockets are for miscellaneous and a money clip with small bills for tips.

That’s FUNCTION with a BIG F for you.

I’m a 500,000 miler with Delta and have spent more time in First Class than coach over the years...

If you dress nicely people are nicer to you...

Maybe I’ll regale you about the time Dennis Quaid helped me with my carry-on bag while I was exiting seat 1 - A at BZN someday...

All that printed stuff does not compute for me. I am very close to a million miles on Delta. I do like to have my sport coat with me on the plane, so I have been known to wear a sport coat over my Tshirt on flights. My preferred clothing on flights is a simple Tshirt and jeans. I always fly the day before my meetings, so I can be very casual. I abhor a full suit while flying.

I’ve also pulled into hotel restrooms on the way to the airport after meetings to get out of my suit and put on shorts and Tshirt in the summer.

Yup. Just like places to shop or dine. We prefer the dressed-up window.
