• 4:24
  Speaker 1: when you get on a plane, you should dress up
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: for work or travel. No comfort has become the priority

  Speaker 1: for gen Z, even in places where people once dressed up. Yeah, nicely.
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: You will catch me in my bonnet at the airport,
• 4:36

  Speaker 1: I feel like if you dress nicer at the airport,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: the people that you know let you in through security
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: and all that they're nicer to you, you're less suspicious,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: you're less This person seems like they're together. I feel
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: like that's the case, but I guess not everybody feels

  Speaker 1: that way anyway. Those are some things. If you have
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: some more, you can always get in touch with them.
• 5:04
