(FWIW, "being dressed casually" has nothing to do with it - how many travelers from the U.S. to Europe do NOT dress "casually" for the flight, however formal the occasions they expect to attend after they arrive?) More than you think. I used to fly SFO to Honk Kong on business. 14.5 hrs, and was amazed how many people got on in 3 piece suits. |

wrote in message ... I'm going to a wedding in France next month (I live in the USA). I've never taken a suit with me on a plane before, so I'm wondering how I will do that. I will be flying in coach class. There have been a number of good responses to this question but no one seems to have mentioned that the type of suit you pack is almost as important as how you pack it. For instance, I'm sure you wouldn't take a linen suit that has to be pressed every time it worn. These days, taking a wool or silk suit might be just as ill advised. Thanks to modern science you can now buy sports jackets that are virtually wash & wear and won't take wrinkle no matter how badly packed. Travel-Smith sells a variety of this type of clothing (of which they are quite proud [$]). Anyway, I'm assuming the "suit" in question is not a tux. -- Donald Newcomb DRNewcomb (at) attglobal (dot) net |

I have a version of a suit bag that is more robust, in fact it has become my main hold luggage, my clothes come out of the wardrobe, into the bag on the hangers, out of the bag into the hotel wardrobe still on hangers, all in seconds. for one night stands, it just hooks on a door, no unpacking at all. I had one of those, and in many ways I'd still prefer it - trouble was, it was bulky, rather heavy even empty, and made an additional case for sundries necessary. mine has lots of side pockets and such like. As you say, it is heavier than a standard case. -- Mike Reid Walk-eat-UK "http://www.fellwalk.co.uk" -- you can email us@ this site Walk-eat-Spain "http://www.fell-walker.co.uk" -- dontuse@ all, it's a spamtrap Photos of both "http://www.lawn-mower-man.co.uk" |

Why not? (To all of the above.) Assuming you don't have any other carry-on, like toiletries, and don't mind scrunching a suitbag up in the overhead bin, you can carry it on it would fail the dimension tests, they might allow it on reasonableness grounds, but many staff are not reasonable. -- Mike Reid Walk-eat-UK "http://www.fellwalk.co.uk" -- you can email us@ this site Walk-eat-Spain "http://www.fell-walker.co.uk" -- dontuse@ all, it's a spamtrap Photos of both "http://www.lawn-mower-man.co.uk" |

wrote in message ups.com... Don't be cheap! Just buy a business class ticket, then the cabin crew will hang it up for you. Economy is only for leisure travellers who don't mind being dressed casually. Are you serniously suggesting someone pay about twice their coach ticket just to avoid some wrinkles? Man. I've got some "quality" stuff in boxes in my garage here that I'd LOVE to sell to you at a 100% markup How about the other side of the coin to "don't be cheap", which is "don't overpay!" Cabin crews hang up garment bags regardless of class. Did you think they are going to find out what aisle the guy is sitting in, and decline if it's a double-digit number? LOL. -Holly |

For the price difference between economy and business you could probably buy a designer suit at your destination and still have change left over. -- Andy |

I wear a business suit for the flight. Ascot if daytime; necktie if nighttime. Why? |
