Rule # 12: dress for airport temperatures
Whether it is summer or winter, you have to dress in layers and be sure to pack warm clothing in your carry-on. Some airports use air-conditioning when it is not necessary, don’t use air-conditioning when it is necessary or they don’t use heating when it is needed. This could result in some discomfort if you are not prepared, so cover all your bases and be prepared for warm or cool temperatures. At night when there are not as many people moving around, you’ll notice the temperatures will drop. In this self-airportrait, submitted to us by David Santos, he’s all bundled up for a night at Girona airport in Spain in February 2009.
Continuing with dressing for the airport, one of the things that drives me nuts about travelling to the Caribbean in the winter is seeing so many people returning home to Toronto in their beach wear. Have you noticed this? Or maybe its a Canadian thing, since we see so little sun during the winter. It will be January and the flight is already delayed because of brutal snowstorms back home. You would think this would tip people off to wear light pants at the very least. But, no when I get to the gate everyone is still dressed in shorts, tank tops and flip flops. At first I look at my boarding pass again to make sure I’m not at the wrong gate, but I know I’m not. I just shake my head and watch in wonderment as we’re on the plane and they have to ask the flight attendants for more blankets to keep warm. Just wait till you get off the plane my friends.
PS. if you are one of these people, I’m sorry….I just don’t get it :-))
What an intersting observations you have got a keen eye.Actually what i feel is that everyone want to show others that they are important and are special so there are people who shows their strength by wearning clothes :P.
i have seen peoplewhen the temperature is in minus and they are wearing just shorts,may be to impress someone
