Dress Code for Qantas First Lounge?

Yeah, but what about these (posted above)?:

" ... I once wore tshirt, Shorts and thongs to the flounge and There was no issue ..."

and

" ... Of all the occasions I have frequented the SYD/MEL Flounges I've almost always been in shorts, t-shirt and sandals or sneakers ..."

This doesn't sound like it's always policed, does it?

Maybe not but do you want to take the risk :?:

Alas the luxury and glamour of air travel is long gone and so its nothing special anymore. It's sad but true that the comfort and service in First Class is good in most cases, theres just no glamour or luxury involved.

How true! Although the Melbourne and Sydney F lounges add a little to what has become a very tedious experience.

Perhaps someone is up for testing the dress code

Absolutely and that is why dressing a little better than T shirt and thongs (foot wear) is appropriate in the F lounge IMHO.

Personally, I would not even think of wearing other than long trousers/jeans, shoes and a collared shirt, let alone wearing thongs, shorts, etc.

It is subjective, but 'smart casual' for a dinner/function/event couldn't possibly mean thongs and shorts, could it? So why any different in the F lounge? 'Smart casual' is in the terms and conditions of entry.

You'd like to think that in an F lounge there would be some sort of minimum dress standard that was applied for entry.

Change on the plane.

Personal appearance is a subjective thing.

Quite right.

The boundaries of what is becoming acceptable is changing rapidly although in my opinion I prefer to dress conservatively when out in public. As for comfort a nice smart casual shirt, pants and slip on leather shoes are just as comfortable as jeans, polo t-shirt and sneakers.

Daggy type shorts, singlets, t-shirts, sandals, thongs are best left for the backyard barbeque.

... The last time I have been in the F-Lounge in MEL there was an elderly couple. She was wearing thongs. The disgusting thing was that she cleaned her feet in the Restaurant area: Clipping the nails and putting toilet-paper between the toes...

I wonder if anyone else can beat that?

Good God! I hope not!! Clearly a case of too many points or dollars and not enough good manners!

Didn't say it was always policed, just pointed out that I have seen it enforced
