When you have a long flight ahead of you, you may well opt for casual attire to be comfy throughout the journey - but certain items of clothing are a big no-no when flying, according to an expert.
This is because some garments, such as leggings, are made of artificial fibres - which are more likely to burn in the unlikely event that a fire breaks out on the plane. Travel expert Christine Negroni explained that the material could lead to nasty burns on your skin as well as hinder your attempts to escape the aircraft, should you need to.
Christine told The Sun: "You might have to escape through a cabin fire or there could be a separate fire on the ground once you leave the aircraft. Everyone is wearing yoga pants on planes now, but I avoid all artificial fibres because they are more likely to burn and stick to you if there is a fire."
