    At the moment I’m leaning towards my slightly stretchy Costco jeans.
    The Mrs has suggested “fat bloke” joggers but I do have some standards.

    Stretch jeans, see other thread 🙂 ps. don`t throw the towel in and opt for joggers, seen many a good lad fall by the way side and into jogger heaven 🙁

    Craghopper Kiwi’s are my go to choice for travelling. Comfy, secure pockets, smart enough.

    If you’re going to go for joggers pair them with some crocs to show you have completely given up and are beyond redemption 🙂

    Craghoppers (or, prior to that, North Face) action slacks as above.

    Well clearly if the op hasn’t given up on himself his wife most certainly has.:-)

    My boss wears Joggers on business class flights, however he is from Dagenham.

    If you have to ask, you’re flying in the wrong class sir

    You should be given a set of clothes to change into for the flight

    An advert for maternity jeans popped up on facebook. They look so comfortable.

    My lesson learnt from “the red wine incident” is make sure you wear trousers in a colour that won’t show stains.

    Some planes seem to be overly warm so shorts can be a comfortable option

    Longhaul? Would teamhurtmores incontinence underwear more useful?

    Joggers – dress them up with some smart shoes and a hat if you’re the captain

    😀 @ Matt!

    Just wear whatever you normally wear.

    Unless it’s a suit. People who fly long haul in a suit are asshats.

    Stretchy shorts and flip flops. Even if flying to Russia!

    Wear something you’re comfortable in, you must know what that is without having to ask.

    Look reasonably smart. Have one cargo pocket for stuff. Lightweight and slightly stretchy.

    I normally wear shorts….

    I never understood flying long haul in a suit, and tie etc, but you see plenty of it about.

    If you’re in economy anything you like as you’ll be uncomfortable anyhow. I tend to go for cotton cargo trousers.

    Definitely cargo pants/trousers. Preferably with zipped pockets. Means all your valuables and papers are on you.

    Onesie… make you look comfortable.

    Alternatively just something comfortable. If I’m flying long-haul for work, depending on the destination I either wear shorts or jeans with trainers and usually a tshirt or jumper. I also usually have a change of top in my hand luggage just in case of spillage.

    Beyond a certain level of scruffiness, though, and – IME – you may be selected for customs searches, certainly seems to happen to me a lot!! maybe I just look wild eyed and knackered after flights to Oz and back…

    Fighter pilot flighsuit, spend entire flight talking shit about the aircrew.

    Two choices really. Cargo / hiking trousers for all the sealable pockets for everything up to boarding. Makes that bit easier. But for flight, linen for comfort. Given that it is long haul? Sacrifice the boarding convenience for flying comfort. Go linen

    Kilt/ sarong is where it’s at. Given you’re sitting for however many hours, anything with a gusset/ crotch is going to ride up and inconvenience the plum area.

    Or, if you simply can’t handle that, those Thai massage trouser things that grungy backpackers wear.

    Hitting turbulence in the toilet with beige chinos makes for a tactical retreat to the safety of the chair and blanket. Rookie error standing on my part, especially over the Caspian Sea where it always gets bumpy.

    asshats

    – do these go with the chaps?

    But there are joggers and there are business class joggers

    I’d put a PSA for the 35% off up but want to make sure my two pairs (one for outbound, one for home) arrive first.

    Don’t they give you a sleep suit when they make your bed up?
