I also find wool slacks to be hot and uncomfortable on long flights. My favorite longhaul flying outfits are well-worn jeans and either a cotton polo shirt or button-down longsleeve shirt.

I often find myself in need of the left breast pocket either going through the airport or on the flight. Ergo; tees, polos and Ralph don't make it onto the airplane.

I bring an easily accessible shirt to change in, in case it gets dirty / excessively wrinkled during the trip (and the jacket / tie can't hide it). I've thankfully never had to go work --> TATL flight --> work with no breaks causing me to wear the same clothes for 36 hours. I'm always able to run home, grab a shower and change clothes before my flight.

I was quoted in the NY Times last winter about being a "master packer" when the airlines started jacking up fees for checked bags. I believe I was quoted as saying something along the lines of I'm able to back for a week long overseas business trip in a carry-on with no problems. The only difficult part comes in sometimes having to forgo clothes / shoes to workout in.

That and the lack of irons in European hotel rooms (I'm currently lobbying for this to be an EU requirement).

I will be booking tix for teh PRG DO soon, and was considering doing UA or LH flights, so I could seek out SWUs.

Why so soon? I imagine that fares will only go down from where they are right now. We are talking about PRG in January here...

That reminds me, I think I will start the Brew DO thread today.

I have made numerous, diligent, attempts to learn how to use an iron. They've all ended up in burns to my skin or hotel fires. :o

They are sending the mass to the lab to be sure, but visually, the tumor looks to be benign.

They are booting her out of here sometime tomorrow. She'll only need crutches for a few weeks.

I am so freaking happy.
