High heels, boots with lots of laces, or shoes with heavy embellishments may look chic, but they can cause headaches at airport security and discomfort on the plane. TSA checkpoints require you to remove your shoes, and complicated footwear can slow you down when you need to hurry through a busy airport. Once on the plane, high heels can add to your discomfort, as you may need to walk across uneven surfaces like the narrow aisles or deal with sudden turbulence.
Opt for slip-on shoes, comfortable sneakers, or flats when flying. They’ll make passing through security easier and offer better stability when walking through the airport or the cabin. Slip-on shoes also allow your feet to swell a little during the flight, a common side effect of high-altitude travel.
