wmadden+FollowWhy You Should Skip Leggings on FlightsDid you know your go-to travel leggings could actually be risky on a plane? Travel experts are warning that synthetic fabrics like polyester and spandex (aka most leggings) can melt in high heat during emergencies, sticking to your skin and making injuries worse. The FAA and flight attendants recommend loose cotton, denim, or wool instead—way safer if things go sideways. It’s not just leggings, either: any synthetic clothes can be a hazard. Cozy up in natural fibers next time you fly! #TravelTips #FlightSafety #TravelHacks #Home154Share
