I'm a Frequent Business Traveler, and I Found 6 Comfy Airplane Outfits That Still Look Put Together—From $12
This routine has created a need for outfits that can do double duty. I need to be able to rest comfortably on those flights, which are sometimes long or overnight, but also make me feel professional for whatever I have to jump right into after disembarking. For me, that means avoiding anything too tight and constricting, but arriving at my destination with clothing that won't be wrinkled or look like I just sat—or slept—in it for hours. I need to look ready to jump right into a business lunch or meeting, even if it's in a corporate setting or fancy restaurant.
Keep reading for six straight-from-the-plane outfits that look polished yet are comfortable enough to wear for a long travel day—all at Amazon, starting at just $12.
The Bobobigo Wide-leg Pants are a travel mainstay because they fit so many roles. They're loose-fitting and lightweight, contain UPF 50 protection, and are water-resistant, so even if the day takes me hiking through fields foraging for truffles and botanicals or visiting a vineyard after a fresh rain, I'm ready. Paired with the Arach&Cloz Crewneck Sweater and Cushionaire Weston Flats, this outfit has an air of sophistication without compromising its cool, casual comfort.
No matter how warm it may be once I land in a destination, planes can get chilly. I love keeping a shawl with me to stay cozy on flights and also as a makeshift blanket when I'm getting some shuteye. The Zestt Dreamsoft Travel Scarf is super versatile, keeping me cozy on the plane and acting as a polished accessory when meeting with colleagues after landing.
I love being able to toss everything, from my bag to my clothes, in the wash after a trip. The Bagsmart Tote Bag is large enough to keep everything from my laptop to my ID and cosmetic bag secure, with a zippered top that keeps items safe from falling out (or pilfering hands). But since it's foldable, it's easy to stash in my luggage when I'm not using it and to throw in with the laundry upon my return.
I'm obsessed with this Btfbm Blazer Vest because it's so versatile; it works great with anything, from jeans to a skirt or wide-leg palazzo pants, and instantly adds sophistication to an outfit. Pair it with the Skechers Go Walk Pants, which are stretchy, moisture-wicking, and offer UPF 40+ protection, making them ideal for both lounging and taking a scenic walk through an exciting new city. Add the Vanlinker Aviator Sunglasses to ensure your eyes will be protected from the summer sun as well.
Pulling this makeshift pantsuit together is a fun and whimsical pair of walking sandals. The Littleplum Braided Sandals offer arch support and a breathable sole, with a retro-inspired wooden buckle and rhinestone embellishments.
A lightweight and loose-fitting T-shirt dress is the ultimate plane-to-sightseeing outfit—it feels as comfortable as a housedress while in flight but instantly adapts to activities on the ground. The Anrabess T-shirt Dress is a bargain at under $30 and comes in a wide variety of shades. The rustic forest grain color, though, is a fun pop of color, especially when paired with the gentle muted shades available in the Scusty Summer Cardigan, a great pick for staying warm on a chilly flight or throwing over a dress for an outdoor dinner.
Work trips often don't allow for time to slow down and regroup, so it's important to have everything you'll need for the day with you. A great tote is an essential, and the Leatherology Downtown Tote is stunning and easily adapts to every stop on the itinerary.
As hard as you may be working on this business trip, it's still important to have a good time. With the Söfft Mirabelle Platforms in an eye-catching metallic shade and the Ade Wu Square Sunglasses in a cool vintage style, you'll maintain an edge of fun and whimsy no matter how serious the day's meetings may be.
If you're looking for a budget-friendly yet on-trend outfit, pair the Amazon Essentials Cargo Pants with the Amazon Essentials Georgette Short-sleeve Top. The classic duo is around $40 and will take you well into the fall trips.
I'm all about packing a crossbody purse for trips, as it makes me feel a lot more secure in densely packed touristy areas. The Sak Lucia Crossbody Purse is a stunning travel bag with a zippered top that will keep items such as my money, passport, and credit cards safe, regardless of any high-traffic airports and destinations I may visit during the trip.
Tie the whole look together with these Dream Pairs Sandals that offer comfort, arch support, and cushioning, so you're ready for a busy day on your feet—even if things get a bit hilly.
I love a dress that can play multiple roles—casual and loose-fitting yet fun and flirty, ready to hit the ground running. The Amazon Essentials Swing Dress checks all the boxes and is only $17. It can double as a comfy plane outfit, but is also something you can wear with ease to a multi-course lunch right after. Throw your odds and ends in the spacious Gassda Canvas Tote and spice up the look with edgy cat-eye sunglasses, on sale for just $15.
It's all about making sure your tired feet can keep up with you on these marathon days, and with the Earth Lainey Flat Sandals' cushioned insoles, you'll be ready. Even better? They're sitting at 54 percent off right now.
Lightweight and airy are the name of the game when I'm traveling, and this 3/4-length blouse pairs so sweetly with fun, floral palazzo pants that can transition to just about any activity on a work or play day. Add the Choliss Quilted Crossbody Bag and the super comfy Clarks Laurieann Kay Sandals, and I'm ready for a day of exploration in a new destination. These sandals, with a 28 percent savings, have a cushioned footbed that feels like walking on clouds but without showing up at that fancy wine tasting in sneakers or athleisure.

Concerns rise in Winnipeg as Air Canada labour dispute could see flights grounded
Flight attendants with Air Canada could go on strike as early as this weekend, and that has some travellers in Winnipeg anxious about what that could mean for their travel plans. Newfoundland resident Paula Drover, who travels back and forth between the East Coast and Winnipeg every two weeks for her job, was boarding a plane home at Winnipeg's airport on Wednesday. She said she and many of her co-workers are concerned about whether they will be able to continue to make the trips she says are an integral part of their jobs. "We have to travel," Drover said. "I have to work and I'm needed at work, so I kinda want to get here. "It's going to be work-impacting for sure." Air Canada said on Wednesday it will begin cancelling flights on Thursday ahead of a potential strike that could see more than 10,000 flight attendants walk off the job this weekend. The Canadian Union of Public Employees gave the carrier a requisite 72-hour strike notice overnight after the two sides reached an impasse in negotiations on Tuesday. Should they walk off the job, the country's largest airline says there would be a gradual suspension of flights, before a complete cessation of flying by Air Canada and Air Canada Rouge by the weekend. About 130,000 customers a day could be affected by a disruption, according to Air Canada. Despite her concerns however, Drover says she would support the workers if they do end up on strike. "They deserve fair wages, they work hard," she said. "I fly quite often and they deal with a lot during a flight." Debbie Iwanchuk from Oakbank was travelling from Winnipeg to Scotland on Wednesday for a three-week trip, but said she is now concerned about whether or not she can get back, depending on how long a strike could last. "We've been planning this for six months. I just heard about two weeks ago, so I started to worry about it, and now it looks like it's going to be a strike starting this week," she said. While in Scotland, she said her and her husband will likely be glued to their phones, trying to get the latest updates on the labour dispute before they are scheduled to return. "We'll be checking. I'm sure we'll be able to look through our phones and get the updates on the news and whatever because we have a plan that covers our roaming charges, so we'll be checking." Despite her concerns she said she is in favour of a strike if that's what it takes for flight attendants to get the agreement they are looking for. "I'm all for them getting what they want, upgraded wages and benefits," Iwanchuk said. "They deserve it." CUPE representatives said in response to their strike action, Air Canada issued a notice of lockout to start at 1:30 a.m. ET on Saturday. Air Canada confirmed the lockout on Wednesday. "We regret the impact a disruption will have on our customers, our stakeholders and the communities we serve," Air Canada chief executive Michael Rousseau said in a statement.

This is the best city in the world for 20-somethings, according to Time Out
Sign up for Unlocking the World, CNN Travel's weekly newsletter. Get news about destinations, plus the latest in aviation, food and drink, and where to stay. Cape Town is the best city in the world, says Time Out — unless that is, you're under 30. The publishing giant, famous for its best-of lists of everything from cool streets to foodie destinations, has released its first-ever 'best cities' list tailored to young people, and it's notably different from the multigenerational ranking shared earlier this year. In January, its annual survey of more than 18,500 city-dwellers worldwide crowned the South African metropolis the best city for 2025, followed by Bangkok, New York and Melbourne. However, filtering the same data to responses from the under-30s – so that's the Gen Z cohort, ages 13 to 28, plus baby millennials – paints a different picture. The Thai capital grabs the No. 1 spot for 2025 with youthful residents, who scored it highly for happiness, affordability and as a great place to meet new people. Young urbanites here were more likely than under-30s anywhere else to rate their city as an ideal environment to make friends. That's on top of Bangkok's many other assets, of course. Thailand's capital 'checks every box for a great city: famously friendly, culturally rich, and packed with iconic sites like Wat Arun and the Grand Palace,' Time Out said in January. Melbourne was No. 2 on the under-30s list, two places higher than on the multigenerational ranking. Nearly four in five young Melburnians described their city as diverse and inclusive and an impressive 96% praised its art and culture scene. More than nine in 10 also said Melbourne's quality of life is 'good' or 'amazing.' The Australian city is also home to Time Out's coolest thoroughfare for 2024, Melbourne High Street, which editor Leah Glynn commended at the time for its 'epic restaurants, hidden bars, live music venues and boutique shops.' Cape Town made it to No. 3 on the under-30 list, scoring particularly high for beauty – the coastal city is overlooked by the breathtaking Table Mountain – and cheap nights out. Three out of four young people say that going out for drinks there is affordable. New York City, at No. 4, was the most likely city to be described as 'exciting' by its younger residents, says Time Out. It was also praised for its walkability and, unsurprisingly for the city that never sleeps, its nightlife. Copenhagen was at No. 10 in the multigenerational rankings, but climbs to No. 5 when filtering for the under-30s. The Danish capital 'prioritises good food, good people, and looking after each other,' Time Out said in January, but it seems it also ranks highly for finding someone special to look after, too. More than half of young people said it was an easy place to find love. Barcelona was another favorite with young people, placing at No. 17 in the overall list, but earning a No. 6 ranking with Gen Z and the youngest millennials. The buzzy seaside metropolis is famous for its nightlife, but the city is also tied with Melbourne for the highest rating for diversity and inclusivity. An impressive 77% of young residents gave its diversity credentials the thumbs up. Edinburgh is at No. 7 on the under-30 list, thanks to its walkability, green spaces and access to nature. Nearly 95% of young people loved its opportunities for green-space action, making it the highest-ranked city in this category. Mexico City, at No. 8, is the second-most affordable place for Gen Z to live, after Bangkok, with 69% scoring it highly for affordability — surely one of the most important criteria for young urbanites at the start of their careers. It's also the fourth-happiest city for 2025 across all generations, with 96% of respondents saying they're happy in their city. Young Londoners don't rate their city highly for affordability; only 45% agree that it's easy on the wallet. However, the UK capital makes it to No. 9 on the under-30s list thanks to its excellent cultural scene, with lots of things to see and do that are both fun and free. Its diverse gastronomic offerings are also a hit with young people; 95% rated the food scene highly. The final spot in the top 10 is taken by Shanghai, which Time Out earlier this year described as 'a cinematic city where everyone's the main character.' Young people living in this Chinese metropolis are the most likely to describe their city as modern. It also performed well for public transport (96% rated it highly) and overall happiness (84% said they were happy living there).
