Actually, was thinking about this in bed last night :duh I might just wear my linens up to the Gatwick hotel and wear three quarter casual trousers on the plane. No doubt, I'll change my mind again :rofl

Have you decided what to wear then Eifion?

After our return flight from Turkey last Friday, I'd say always carry something to layer. We got two seats at emergency exit which I thought was great for the extra legroom, but it was freezing. I have never been so cold on a plane and of course was wearing lightweight clothes. Fortunately I had put a shirt in my bag as a precaution but it wasn't warm enough & my sockless feet were like 2 blocks of ice by end of 4 & half hour flight :(
I did mention to stewardess but no change & no blankets are carried on short-haul flights now.

Toastedmallow - we have been on flights where we have frozen, and on some where we roasted. You can never tell. I'll be wearing some lightweight denims which can be rolled up & a t shirt, on the way back I'll be wearing the same but with a cardigan. I wear sandals on my feet, but they'll be coming off this year when I'll have to wear my "sexy" flight socks for our flight to the Dominican Republic. It'll give some people a right laugh when I have to go to the toilet, with fawn socks & sandals - typical Brits abroad I'd say :rofl :rofl

At least the socks are now available in beige. When I first started to wear them a few years ago I could only get them in black, they really made a fashion statement when worn with sandals. :yikes

Mine are like a ribbed beige Judith, so when you take them off you have delightful furrows on your legs for ages afterwards :D

Comfortable clothes for me so usually jeans, t-shirt and trainers (or sandals if the weather permits). I haven't been abroad for a number of years so usually travel by train to any holiday destinations.

Shorts for meI know when I get to turkey it will be boiling hot, temp at night has been 82f at the lowest.

That sounds like what I would wear excluding the white t-shirt I always spill something down me :whoops

Well I've changed my mind yet again. I've decided to wear a dress for the first time ever :really I'll top it with a cropped cardi and flip flop type sandals. It will look really cool once I put on my flight socks :yikes

Generally wear cropped trousers, a vest top with a cardigan or light jacket with flip flops. Of course new underwear is a must.

I plan my return journey clothing as well :oops: always has to be something white so my tan looks good. Im one of those that sits in the airport on the way home moaning because everyone elses tan looks better than mine. Its not until you get home and see everyone else that I realise my tan does look good afterall :D and it was worth wearing the white top

I always wear my heaviest clothes to travel in. This year I'm opting for jeans, a vest top and a long open blouse with an elastic belt. that way I can wear my black evening shoes, which weigh a ton :)

I always plan what to wear for the airport / flight.
I also often travel from Newcastle to London ( Gatwick flight next week ) I get free rail travel as i work on them and book the Sofitel at Gatwick ( great staff discount through superbreaks and still its cheaper than a newcastle flight ) So i often need an outfit to get to London and another for the flight the next day.
Its all part of the holiday for me. I just love to travel and i love to people watch so if im watching them im sure someone is watching me so i like to look my best lol x

Got nice denim shorts, new sort of turqouisey dressy t.shirt, silver flipflops to match my silver bag, turquoise+silver jewellery, turquoise+silver hair clasps, silver nail polish.......... or perhaps turquoisey nail polish, decisions, decisions :rofl

Can we please have a poll to decide what colour I should wear??!!!! Go a week today

Turquoise. I am sure you are going to look and feel good.
It will also compliment your sun tan on your return but don't think about that yet!!!!!
