For long-haul or connecting flights, choose breathable fabrics like cotton, opt for loose-fitting clothes, and bring a light jacket or scarf since cabin temperatures tend to be cool.

Slip-on shoes or sandals are also ideal for security checkpoints and long layovers, giving your feet room to relax during the journey.

If you have a short layover under four hours, packing a few light snacks like crackers, nuts, or dried fruit can help keep your energy up. Also, bring entertainment essentials such as headphones, a tablet, or a book to make your waiting time more enjoyable.
