What's your golden travel rule?

I never wear a jacket while traveling (unless it’s a flight to Russia or something…) as I find airports and many airplanes way too hot as it is- so there goes that one, unfortunately.

But even if I did, what happens to these items when changing into PJs during a long-haul flight? Seems almost more risky to keep these items in a jacket or a little nook by the seat.
Airline cabins too hot? I have never felt the urge to take off any jacket in flight. Usually way too cold and wife and daughter are always looking for blanket.

Pyjamas in public? I won't go there.

I think that reading AFF makes me think of the premium cabins as more of a “bunk room” than “in public”. My biggest issue with wearing PJ’s in that “bunk room” is that because I’m not under 25 I won’t wear them in the terminal or the transport to/from the airport, and in most cases the only place to get changed is the tight little toilet where all the surfaces that clothes you’re changing in & out of will touch are covered in … ahem.
 
Lovely HoeyMoey at secluded Forrest Beach near Ingham where we were recommended for a workstay. Upon arrival manager pointed out the facilities and enquired whether we would be dining there. Following that confirmation he said you'll be having the roast lamb then?

Another gem upon arrival at a Cooktown motel after a fairly tedious work drive from Cairns and saying we were a bit bushed, the manager with a cold Fawlty Towers persona gritted "Name?"

Yea, I find it too hot in most places, have my whole life. I’m not even thinking of certain airlines based in Japan or Korea where it seems to be norm to have everyone baked to a crisp during the flight…

And no, the PJ gets out on and taken off in the yicky little toilet lavatory- wouldn’t be seen in that outside the aircraft either.
 
SQ I find is usually too warm for my ideal. With a bit of thought can get in and out of PJs without much issue, especially on QR where the J lavs are bigger than others' usual. And you can always wash your hands on the way out and grab a paper towel. In fact on QR you could change in the QSuite with a bit of wriggling.
