Another crucial tip from flight attendant Fischbach is to avoid wearing clothing with fringes or made from flammable materials. She warns that such items pose a fire hazard in the rare event of an onboard fire. “While our uniforms have polyester in them, I always wonder and worry myself that they could be a hazard if they got too close to extreme heat and melt on us,” she added.
Fischbach also advises against wearing restrictive clothing during flights, especially for long journeys. Tight-fitted outfits can impede blood circulation and increase the risk of developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a serious condition where blood clots form in deep veins, typically in the legs.
