Hanging up a suit in coach
I'm soon going to be taking a cross-country trip, from the west coast
to the east coast, a six-hour trip. I'm flying in coach on American on a 757, out on a red eye and back in late afternoon. I'm going for a job interview at a conference and I'm taking a suit. What I want to know is: can I get a flight attendant to hang up my suit? In the past, on some flights, some flight attendants have done that. At other times, I've had to stuff it in the overhead compartment,which is hardly what I need before an interview. Is there a place in coach on a 757 to hang passenger clothes? Is there a strategy to get to use it? Thanks. |

I typically just wait until the overheads are full and then fold the jacket and lay it on top. You can try hanging off the seat in front of you. You might bring you own hanger and see if you can't find a place to hang it yourself. |

(The fibres used to make a jacket could be unpicked and re-assembled to make an offensive weapon. In fact, there have been incidents when woollen threads were used to strangle people.) Maybe you could buy one in your destination city? |

He's making a day trip of it. Cheers, George W Russell Bangalore |

Thanks but the problem is, the interview is happening before the official check in time. Thanks. As another poster suggested in a different thread, leave earlier, and arrive the evening before your interview. LAX to BOS takes maybe five hours; if you're lucky, you'll get maybe four hours of sleep on the flight, you'll have nowhere to sleep when you get to Boston, you'll be a basket case, and wrinkles in your suit will be the least of your worries. Another suggestion: Network. Find someone going to the convention who *is* getting in the night before, and ask if you can use his or her shower. That will take care of one of your problems, maybe two if you can use the other person's hotel room to take a nap. Back to the suit. There are ways of packing things to minimize wrinkles, so there is hope. When you take a shower in the colleague's room, hang your suit up in the bathroom. This will help smooth out any wrinkles. Plan to take a nap just before your interview. You might stay coherent just long enough to sound like your usual intelligent self. *And* your interviewer will be secretly impressed that you pulled it off just hours after a red-eye flight. Let us know how it goes. We'll be rooting for you. Louis |

Thanks but the problem is, the interview is happening before the official check in time. Thanks. If you're that worried, fly out a day in advance. Some clothing can survive being rolled without wrinkling if you're careful enough and wrap it tight enough, one of my colleges rolls his suits and then seals them in vacuum suction bags to keep them from unrolling. Beyond that, you can take your chances, but I'd assume and plan for the worst. If you're really sure that a wrinkle will make the difference between you getting the job or not, you might be able to find a local drycleaner, FedEx your suit a couple days in advance and have them press and store your suit until you arrive. |
