Just when you thought you had seen it all in the Qantas lounge...

Sitting in the Melbourne QF domestic lounge and there is a middle-aged lady walking around the lounge in her PJ's and slippers!

Qantas PJs?

Influencer then (whatever that is)

You could always remind the lounge staff of the dress code:

When QF did a test flight with passengers for LHR PER, the media showed passengers disembarking to head to some room to help adjust to the timezone. I was quite surprised at the number still wearing the QF business PJs. Perhaps it's a thing and this lady took it to the next level and brought her own. QF ones aren't that comfotable anyway.

Looked like she had rolled straight out of bed into the lounge - maybe under the influence more than influencer...

It seems to be a thing now. And not just in AU

Saw the same thing in the main dining room at the Berlin Marriott recently.

Two separate people, on different days, wearing full blown pyjamas, completely nonchalantly in a busy restaurant.

Legoland. The real one in Denmark. Plus Germany and Switzerland

Onto Berlin. Having never visited the German capital, a big question was what district to stay in. We landed on Potsdamer Platz, which looked like it was going to be within close walking distance to a number of key attractions. So it would be 5 nights at the Berlin Marriott at Potsdamer Platz...

Good on her.

I really hate that QF has a dress code in domestic lounges. I don’t know of any other airline that has a dress code in its lounges.

As long as people cover their bits, the way they are dressed really shouldn’t affect you. Get on with your own life.

At breakfast at the Marriott apartments in Bangkok there was always at least 1 in PJs. Often with bare feet rather than slippers.

Sorry, one has to disagree.

There's a time and a place for every type of attire, but for instance wearing thongs (the Australian type: footwear) or PJs into a hotel restaurant or airline lounge is inappropriate.

It's the fashion equivalent of not cleaning one's teeth in the morning, or smoking at breakfast as many Europeans do overseas, ensuring that those who don't have their hair or clothes reeking of the weed all day. (Having recently travelled to Europe, many locals are still smoking en masse at 0700). Repulsive.

It lowers the tone, as do visible tattoos.

Smoking and possibly not brushing your teeth has a tangible effect on you.

But how does someone wearing a smart pair of Havianas or a tattoo ruin your expierince? Honestly, that view is so last century. You can wear thongs into the QF Flounge, but not the Qantas Club. That’s ridiculous.

Reminds me of the times I’ve visited Sanya, on Hainan Island in China. A big resort city. Vast majority of people were wandering around in their best holiday kit. Matching shirts and shorts. Just looked like an army of people wandering around in their PJ’s!!

When I lived in the Kimberly in the 80s, going formal meant wearing a new pair of thongs

Still does.

A mate used to work on construction sites in NZ, where they were referred to as "Samoan safety boots".

Just thongs…
