I wore pyjamas for two flights and a seven-hour stopover. I had no choice

Any moment now I am expecting sparks and smoke to billow from the hand-dryer in the women’s loo in Cairo’s International Airport.

They were packed for a night in Wadi Rum Jordan, where we thought it would be cold – wrong, we had air-conditioning.“Really?” I think, but I’m desperate, so I change into the oversized pyjamas with a faded kangaroo emblazoned on the front, Qantas written on the back, and give my shoe one last blast of hot air.

That “kangaroo” is a dead giveaway and a fellow passenger, who has watched my coffee antics in the lounge, comments – “at least you don’t have to get changed” for bedtime.I settle into my business class flat bed that was half the price of bigger name airlines and feel liberated knowing I won’t have to make a mad dash to change before landing.

The days of glamour travel aren’t making a comeback in a hurry and who am I to talk? I am leading the throng.My late mother and grandmother, devotees of fashion and polished grooming, were travel fashionistas long before the term was invented.
