Preparing to Fly -- Wear Sensible Clothing

Passengers who wear sensible clothing can reduce their chances of serious injury in the unlikely event of an emergency.

  • Dress to cover as much skin as possible.
  • Wear clothes made of natural fabrics such as cotton, wool, denim or leather. Synthetics may melt when heated.
  • Wear clothing that is roomy, avoiding restrictive clothing.
  • Wear low-heeled, leather or canvas shoes.
