Reading about the recent accident on Merpati Airlines (All 27 passengers who were traveling onboard the Indonesian passenger aircraft MA-60, -a 50-60 seat class regional turboprop jet that crashed into the sea on Saturday- were killed), make me feel vulnerable again about airplane safety, even knowing that statistics have shown that air travel is by far, the safest mode of transportation.
There are things and situations that we cannot control (unfortunately), but, what about the little things (with great impact in terms of prevention) that we can manage to be prepared and travel Safe, like they way we dress while traveling? That brought me to my question for the next (and fast) topic: when traveling by airplane, how prepared we are in terms of our way we dress? While waiting at the airports, i had been surprised (sometimes shocked) by all kind of outfits that are fare away for being safe (high heels, flip flops, tons of accessories, lots of carry-on luggage, etc).
Yes, there is a Dress Code, not for travel, but for do it in a preventing way. It is imperative that when we travel, even if it is for vacations, we dress secure in case of fire and how we can avoid as best possible, to get burned: we always have to travel with a trench coat, jacket or some sort of coverage in case of fire (scarf is a great tool). A trouser or jeans instead of a skirt is a perfect choice. Forget about wearing sandals or uncomfortable shoes, we have to cover our feet for any emergency (what about if we need to run?), a great pair of boots and/or running shoes, depending of your taste. In regards of accessories, less is more, I've seen (and read) horrible stories about people getting burned for the metal of their tones of accessories.

Do you think (or tell us) a story how you dress for travel, or how shocked you were when you saw some ridiculous outfits at the airport?
See you around!
