I flew from Ohio to London kilted, and in heathrow I changed, I had another 8 hours to go on to Kenya.
security was fun :rolleyes: I had to remove shoes, and get wanded, fortunatly, I don't own a "real" kilt, just a costume one that is close. it has no metal parts, no need for a kilt pin, and no pockets. and I don't own a sporran. so it wasn't much trouble. just lots of looks from people that were like, "clearly he is flying back to Scotland... " and "I can't believe your an American." (when I was carrying the passport)
like I said, I changed in heathrow because it was very very very very hot and uncomfortable. mostly sitting on the pleats for like 7 hours. but the way my "kilt" is made, it has a nice long "sash" that is nothing more than like 3 yards of extra fabric that was not cut off. I tend to wrap it all the way around myself 2 or 3 times until it is more like a real kilt.
picture if you want to point and laugh:

but anyways, the seating isn't terrible, but it is just annoying. I also have the problem of not being able to sleep in any type of moving vehicle.
just my 2 cents, then again, it might be completely different with a real kilt.
