12 Ways to Make Flying Economy Feel Like First Class

Wear comfortable clothing

You’d be shocked at all the ways your clothing can influence the way you feel. Take advantage of this by dressing for comfort, says Susan Portnoy, writer at The Insatiable Traveler. “Avoid belts, ties or big buttons, anything that can pinch, poke or constrict when you choose your wheels up ensemble,” she says. Instead, Portnoy says choose comfy fabrics that stretch. “You don’t have to look sloppy,” she adds. “I typically wear a pair of nice pair of black yoga pants, ballet flats, a sports bra (no hooks or underwires to poke and pull), a tank top and a yummy cashmere sweater to top it off. Warm or cold, I’m ready.”
