I’m with Qantas on this one. Sitting in the departure gate area at Bridgetown last year I was surprised (not really!) by the attire of some of my fellow passengers, who had come from a cruise ship. Not quite string vests, but vests on aged bodies that would have benefited from covering up with a proper shirt or t-shirt. Casual doesn’t have to mean scruffy or bordering on indecent. Call me a snob if you wish……

…AnthonyD that is so true ….back in 2002 when entering the Qantas 1st class lounge at Sydney (could have been Melbourne) I was wearing T-Shirt, jeans etc…I was asked quite abruptly to put on a shirt due to the ‘Qantas 1st class lounge dress code’ otherwise I would be refused entry therefore I duly obliged. When leaving the Lounge the Lounge Dragon thanked me for observing their dress code, to which I replied ‘When I purchased the 1st class ticket in person from Qantas I was wearing a T-shirt but you did not refuse selling me the said ticket…

I am a long haul pj wearer and as I very rarely wear socks I generally put on airline ones. I will add, my pjs are not overtly so, last night I was wearing a rather fetching pair of wide bottom print trousers and a black CK tea shirt of breathable fabric. I do however have to eat in proper clothing I cannot bring my self to be dining while wearing something so casual, it just doesn’t seem quite right.
Yesterday in a hotel a man came down to breakfast in his pjs, I shared the lift with him ! I managed to keep a straight face. Its not the first time I have seen this, I find it bemusing.

Interestingly, Qantas is the only airline that I am aware of that publishes a dress code for its lounges: no budgie smugglers or string vests… It’s truly amazing what people consider to be “appropriate attire” these days.

I think their use of the word ‘thongs’ relates to what we call flip-flops.

Oh my goodness, Hong Kong Lady. Do you think he was sleepwalking?

That made me giggle Icenspice, I think he was feeling too much at home with his surroundings.

What an innocent you are icenspice! I always pictured you as a woman of the world, but now you have even more charm!

I only wear budgie smugglers in the pool, never in the lounge. Not even at home.

Thank you for your kind words, David. I am guessing they are only purchased by men of a certain age or Olympic divers.
