Leather Jacket in Airplane (long flight)

Stand By said:

Last Winter, I flew from Toronto to Edmonton, Alberta (4 hour flight/2700km) and stayed there for all of 2 hours (yes, two); just long enough to pick up our latest rescue puppy from Mexico via his foster family in Edmonton, let him whizz outside, re-do security and fly all the way back back with him.
I opted for my Buzz Rickson L2-A for the very long day of 2 taxi rides, airport terminals, both flights and UP Express train - and all indoors from the inclement cold outside. I wore it with a hooded sweatshirt and the nylon jacket was the perfect choice! I wouldn't automatically reach for one my leather jackets again for a flight after that ...
The puppy's perfect too and settled right in. Oh, and his name is Spike.

That's a seriously awesome dogo! So cute!

Flying for Canada myself in a few days, I'm still torn between an unlined Aero jacket or a denim whatever. I'll have no luggage so it's gotta be something that'll have me covered for 20 days.

Thanks a lot, Monitor! He's very cute alright. And with a big personality! He's a hoot, which is a good thing to inject a bit of life into a house full of senior rescue dogs ..!
Where are you flying to?? Right now, it's baking here and we're under a heat alert (I'm 50K north of Toronto and considered rural) and it's very warm, very humid (but no rain) and it's bloody Mosquito Alley! I wouldn't bother with a jacket unless I was working and taking the GO bus into the city to go to work - some of those buses (a coach) are so cold you could hang meat in them! That's the only time I wear my jean jacket right now and that's been it for a while.
Meanwhile, my girlfriend is in Tofino, BC and it's distinctly cool, damp and nary a bug around ...! And a shed load of rain on the way.
So it depends where you're going ...
I'd be opting for nylon if you have one ...
