Blazer jacket:
P: looks more elegant, plenty of inner pockets.
C: might be uncomfortable to wear onboard.

Bomber jacket:
P: comfortable to wear onboard, more suitable when just strolling/shopping.
C: less formal and might look too "sporty", might have less inner storage pockets.

So the dillema here is between looking dapper or wearing a more "functional" jacket.

Would appreciate suggestions which one to go with, based on experience.

Cheers
I agree. Those inner spikes on blazer and suits jackets just make them uncomfortable to wear onboard a plane!

Really? What about a well-tailored (or even untailored) blazer or suit coat should inherently make it uncomfortable? Nothing as far as I can see.

Well, yes, wearing winter-weight for a flight to Dubai in July might be pretty uncomfortable, but otherwise. . .
