A travel advisor claimed there is one thing you should never wear on a plane for safety reasons.

Mari specialises in adults only holidays and has her own independent travel agency based in the . She also gives travelling tips and advice on her TikTok page.

The expert shared a video on the platform claiming that you should never wear synthetic materials when you're on a plane. Clothes made out of other materials are better in some ways, according to Mari.

Speaking in the video, she said: "Now you should never wear synthetic materials on an because if you're in an instance where the airplane goes down or there's a fire on the plane synthetic material actually melts and will melt to your skin and that doesn't say that natural fibre clothing doesn't cause burns or catch fire.

"It just means that synthetic fibre materials do cause burns at a higher rate and synthetic fibres also ignite much more quickly so even just the lightest spark will catch your clothing on fire."

At the beginning of her clip she said that synthetic fibres are "one thing that you should never ever wear on an airplane and it could save your life if you don't wear it". Her post has amassed 471,900 views in five days, as well as 7,761 likes and 356 comments.

One user said: "Girl!! You just stressed me out!" Mari replied: "Right? My mom's friend works in aerospace and told me this. The way my anxiety shot up and I immediately started shopping for new clothes."

Another added: "Flight attendant here. Especially don't wear synthetic tights in case of an emergency evacuation, they will melt into your skin while sliding down the slides."

A third user questioned: "If the aeroplane goes down will it really matter what I'm wearing?" To this, Mari responded: "If you survive, yes, it will matter."

Someone else commented: "So very true. I met a woman who survived a plane crash in the 80s, she told us this fact!"

has also warned of the potential risk of wearing synthetic fibres. It said: "Some synthetics will not ignite into a flame easily, but when they do catch fire they can be unsafe because many synthetic fibres are thermoplastic, meaning that they become mouldable under high heat. Therefore the fabric will melt, which can cause serious burns to the skin making non fire retardant synthetic fabrics unsuitable for protective clothing."

It explains that more tightly woven fabrics will be "harder to ignite in comparison to lighter weight fabrics which will burn easier". The fabric selling website believes wool to be "one of the safest fabrics" out of both synthetic and natural fibres as it "does not easily ignite, and if it does ignite then the flame will often diminish and the fabric will not melt".

It is rare to be on a plane that catches fire or goes down but wearing the right material could help you in this situation. You can find out what the fabric composition is of your clothes by checking the labels.
