Went in to change from jeans to trousers -- trousers over left shoulder, take off jeans and place on right shoulder, put on trousers... this is tricky since you have to take off shoes and stand on them as you're changing unless you want your sock feet to touch that nasty floor... then stepped outside, placed jeans on hanger, took tux shirt and studs in... changed from polo shirt to tux shirt... stepped outside, placed polo shirt on hanger, took bow tie and cummerbund in -- I don't used a pre-tied bow tie and on one occasion the FA tied it for me in the galley... stepped outside, took jacket off hanger, placed garment bag around jeans and shirt, went to seat and changed into shoes... and pulled out the hand sanitizer. On both occasions the FA let me keep my stuff in the jump seat area as I went in and out of lav and between some of trips in and out of lav someone else went in.

Not ideal but better than changing in the sedan. It would have been better if I could have changed in the SkyClub before leaving the airport but I didn't have time.

I may be a fattie but I'm deft and flexible.
