Oh! How boringly practical and sensible!

If you are going to have your handbag searched at least have one that the security girls admire - gives you something to talk about as they confiscate your perfume. And if the shoes MUST come off give the poor bloke behind you a laugh as you sink down six inches in height sans shoes.

Thanks Cigale! Just what I needed to know as I am packing my suitcase this weekend for my trip to Paris on Wednesday.
I stick to flat slip-on shoes that will allow for any swelling, stretch pants, and a loose acrylic top that won't show a crinkle when I step off the plane.
If I were to jump in a taxi straight to my hotel I may not go to all the trouble of looking presentable, but I'm transferring in Munich to the ICE & then TGV before getting to Paris so have a lot of places to go before I see our hotel!
Thanks again.

i don't use a purse, should i start?

tod make sure you wear something suitable on the ICE, it is anything but icy at the moment.

There is an important piece of accessory missing in those photos that I often see at the airports. The U-shaped neck pillow some people don't bother to take off between the flights. LOL

Yes, rhkkmk, please don't tell me you've never heard of a "man-bag"!
