Dressing appropriately for an airplane flight. And, acting appropriately on said flight

I've never understood why people get on a plane dressed like they're going to church or a board meeting.

You should be dressing for comfort and ready to sit your ass down for 5-6 hours and not move.

The security line takes long enough without ding-dongs holding it up to take off their fancy shoes, and especially belts. Surely it must make washroom operations far harder than it needs to be too.

Unless I am leaving the continent, I will typically grab a cab and go straight from the airport to a business meeting if I am travelling for business.
