International dead head to off duty.

Just wondering if you guys have any advice on subject.

Any issues traveling in casual clothes?

Or is it better to wear the uniform on the flight?

Thanks.

I would should not really matter. Depends where you are
If you try to walk through the crew customs line entering NRT you might have to flash a badge
Departing HKG they used to make me use the "passenger channel" going out if not in uniform
Doubt we will be laying over there again for many years

I had a brand new tube of toothpaste confiscated in Cancun while deadheading out in civvies. Really ticked me off...that Sensodyne Pronamel ain't cheap.

Wear your uniform until after you pre-board… then change top before pax get on.

Thanks.

I’ll probably just wear the uniform then switch my shirt or wear a wind breaker. I wasn’t planning on having a drink on the flight anyway, hear that can be bad for high elevation.

More bang for the buck. Don’t be stupid but enjoy the ride.

Of course, rules are different for getting through KCM when selected. I'll go in uniform all the way to the plane, that way you can early board. Then If I want the extra flexibility, I'll change.
