Medium-haul is defined by flights lasting between 3-6 hours and long–haul flights are those that extend beyond 6 hours.

1. Avoid long skirts and maxi dresses: The reason for this is very simple, Airport Security will probably pull you aside and begin a rigorous pat-down. They will want to make sure you have nothing hidden under that flowy dress of yours. Then do you really want to be stuck at an airport for 3 hours with a maxi dress or long skirt?
2. Wear layers of clothing that can conveniently fold into a pillow: Having a long-haul flight will mean that you’ll have to sleep for a few hours at least. The good thing about having layers of clothing is that it can be removed and folded to make a pillow for your head.
3. Wear something that you can be comfortable in for 24 hours: This is self-explanatory for long hours. You should wear something that will not make you uncomfortable throughout the flight duration.
4. Wear clothes that do not restrict you: Don’t wear maxi dresses does not equal to wear tight clothes. Please avoid tight clothing on long-haul flights because your body swells a little as you travel long distances up in the air.
5. A big bag or backpack: On overnight flights, you will definitely need a few things. You can dump your personal stuff in the bag
6. Pashmina: This is important as they can keep you warm when the temperature drops at night or can be rolled and turned into a pillow. They can jazz up your boring T-shirt or complement whatever you choose as your aeroplane outfit.
7. Sunglasses: The reasons for this are two and they are very simple. One: Most people look terrible after 12 hours of interrupted sleep or worse, no sleep at all. Two: Sometimes the person besides the window wants the shades up to watch the sunrise. You just want to sleep and your sunglasses will come in handy then
8. Deodorant: If everyone will put on deodorant for a long-haul flight, the aeroplane will be a lot better and nicer. Sometimes the reason your sit partner is cranky can be because of your body odour.
