7Tight or Restrictive Clothing

Wearing tight jeans or form-fitting dresses might seem fashionable, but they’re the enemy of comfort on long flights. Sitting in a confined space for hours can lead to bloating, discomfort, and even health risks like deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a condition where blood clots form due to prolonged inactivity.

Tight clothing can also limit your mobility, making it difficult to stretch your legs or shift positions during the flight. Instead, opt for loose-fitting, breathable clothing like sweatpants, leggings, or flowy dresses. These allow better blood circulation and keep you comfortable during long flights.
