But even when I don't, I ALWAYS dress business-casual.
Do you dress nice for flying?

We have the same amount of elite-qualifying points, but since I'm wearing cargo pants you got bumped up ahead of me! No fair!" I refuse to believe that gate agents, who are under an unbelievable amount of pressure, take the time to make a mental note of who on the standby/upgrade list is dressed nicer than others. I only have experience with American Airlines, and I know for a fact that their standby/upgrade list is determined by a set of factors mostly out of the gate agents' control. |

My mom used to make us dress up nicely (basically no sweats and a t-shirt) because she's a travel agent so it looked a lot better for her to request
upgrades if her family didn't look like slobs
Now that I travel alone and have no chance of being upgraded (or really a desire to if it's just a quick flight) I wear sweats and a t-shirt and flip flops or sneakers. It's really all about comfort for me now. |

Back when I was flying like 3 times a month I would because I was visiting my gf and I wanted to look nice when I got to LAX.

JLG has inspired me. From now on, I will wear flippers instead of regular shoes so that I can swim more efficiently should my plane crash in the ocean. Better
safe than sorry.

I dress comfortable. I've got a flight to Germany next month so there is no way I'm going to spend 9 hours in an uncomfortable seat in anything other
than sweats and a hoodie.

jeans, tank top, hoodie or jacket and shoes that easily slide off. I don't really care what I look like on my 13 hour flights to Europe, but I usually see
family on the other end that I hadn't seen it at least a year, so I don't want to look like a slob.

I always dress nicely. I would never wear sweatpants out in public no matter what.

I dress how I normally would. Unless it is a late flight, then I would dress in sweatpants and a comfortable shirt because I'm planning to sleep until I
arrive at my destination.

Some of the comments here are making me laugh.
Since I usually take really early flights (the one I have coming up is 7am, which means getting to the airport by 5:30, yuck), I dress pretty comfortably. Jeans and a t-shirt/sweat shirt with shoes that don't require lacing. I'd wear sweats, but I want to look put together enough when I get to where
I'm going because I never know if we'll be going straight out into public or what!

I tend to overdress most of the time, so probably. But, I stopped doing high heels in the airport a long time ago. I learned my lesson. But that's what is
so great about rider boots. I love a flat boot for traveling and for working because you can wear them all day and look great. And flats in general too.
ETA I love wearing layers too when traveling because the temp is always changing. |

Jeans, top, light jacket and shoes that I can slide on and off. Comfort + ease of getting through checkpoints. The only time I dress nice is if I'm flying
for a dressy occasion, and I don't want my nice clothes smushed in my luggage.

I dress comfy with Business, Casual Friday kind of look. OP is way too relaxed, like she could take a nap any time.
I don't dress up anymore, since you basically strip down when you go through security. |

Nope. I dress comfortably, but not in sweats either.

Who would be more likely to sit in first class? A woman wearing nice dress pants and a nice top or a woman wearing sweats? It's not that far of a fetch. If you only have experience with American you can't speak for every airline. I'm also pretty sure they aren't going to tell people that they upgrade seats based on clothing. I'm not saying that that is all they base it upon but it certainly doesn't hurt and I've had good luck twice because of it. Are YOU a gate agent? |
