Charity Moore has spent 11 years as a flight attendant, which is long enough to have seen what happens on airplane seats when nobody’s watching. As a result, she has one firm rule for her own travel wardrobe, and it isn’t about looking put-together: she will not wear shorts on a plane, and she’d prefer you didn’t either.

Moore, who posts as @charityofsunshine and was a 2025 Survivor contestant, laid it out in a TikTok that’s been viewed millions of times. To be clear up front, this is her advice, not an airline rule. No major U.S. carrier bans shorts. It’s just the earned opinion of someone who’s seen the seats up close. “I am letting you know from a flight attendant, the amount of things I have seen on the seat,” she said. “Wear pants. Shorts, skirts, dresses? Absolutely not. Wear full pants.”

@charityofsunshine These are a few things you should be doing on an airplane when you travel that you probably (and by probably I mean absolutely) should be doing from your flight........
