Hamish, having just returned from a long-haul flight visiting family, this was something I was wondering about. As you may gather from other posts, my wife is anti my kilt wearing, so flying kilted with her is a no-no. As you say, the seating for folks such as me who have to sit in the back of the aircraft is so tight, I would imagine keeping the pleats in order would be a big problem. Also, I imagine Utilikilts would be worse since mine creases after a short period of normal wearing. Oh dear, if only my wife would accept kilts - I would have loved to have flown kilted regardless.
the problem I found with flying kilted is the lack of room in moving and pleats get in the way. they whack just about everything! lol
