Budget airline Ryanair is encouraging passengers to rethink wearing jeans on its flights, saying the rigid denim could restrict movement and comfort during travel.
The recommendation came via a TikTok post from the airline’s official account that said “It’s 2026, let’s stop travelling in jeans,” and sparked debate among travelers online.
@ryanair please 🙏 #ryanair
Ryanair’s safety and cabin teams have suggested looser, more flexible clothing may be more comfortable — particularly on longer flights — and could allow passengers to move more easily in cramped seating, though the guidance is not an enforceable dress code.
The post generated a mix of confusion and discussion among flyers, with some questioning the reasoning and others embracing the practical travel advice.
