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

[Denali]

I begrudge having to get out of my pjs for Singapore arrival, knowing I'll be back in them in about 2.5hrs but I do it because I dont want to be that person, wandering the airport in my PJs and I would expect I would be denied entry to the lounge if I did.

On the other side I can remember many years (decades lol) ago going to Coles in the night before club eveningwear at about 6.30 am .
I think lounge clothes and PjS are very similar nowadays

 

[PERLHR]

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.

Curious...where in Europe? Smoking is really not part of the course in most countries with in door smoking banned and upheld with riquor in most. Outside cafe smoking areas do exist...as they do in Australia and if they are puffing away "en masse" then I can only assume it's outside? I recall many a day in the Munich beer halls and beer festival when you can hardly see in front of you due to the smoke. Now, ofcourse it's banned!

undies are on show now

 

[MARTINE]

Come to think of it, Queens English should be the minimum


Come one, this is discriminatory
What about hair braids with beads
At least 2 points imo

I think the main thing is that with whatever someone is wearing, we don't want to see men's dangly bits in a lounge? Which is perhaps why it seems more prevalent that women wear PJ's than men.

Agree
I dont care whats on the outside (PJ’s/animal onesies) so long as I am not near dirty bits, smelly bits, dangly bits and pink bits

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.

That's quite normal in Berlin IMHO.

It's one of the things I like about the city. (Not that I personally want to wear PJs outside, but you have the freedom to be yourself and do whatever - nobody really cares as long as you're not hurting anybody.)

 

[AustraliaPoochie]

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

I would say, it takes all sorts to make the world go round, or to make "understanding" of what it takes to be able to get entry to the QFd lounge, anything is acceptable, so long as its not topless or nude.

So - to those who will see my 60+ bod in my budgie smugglers in the lounge, I say " just sit somewhere else if you don't like it".

And guy in his wife beater, fresh off the building site, covered in cough and nauseous BO - Just sit somewhere else if you don't like it.


The two chicks who sit next to you and your family with mouths like sewers and "cough* YOU ____s" spelled out in full on their T-shirts - you get it - you have to move if you don't like it, because dress and other standards in an airport lounge are so last century and people should do like what they want. As long as you don’t see you there private parts..

No, there are standards of basic consideration and courtesy to others that everyone should adhere to, covering dress, behaviour, speech you name it. If the establishment won't set a standard, then basic decency and courtesy should prevail while sharing a space. In an airport lounge as on board the aircraft.

Don't like adhering to simple courteous rules of dress and behaviour - find somewhere else .

If the clothing is legal and would be OK in the terminal or in the street, I can't see how it is anyone's business to say it is not fit for an airline lounge. As for dirty clothes, bad language or BO - I'm not seeing that covered in dress codes anyway.

Behaving respectfully is a different thing, and I do think it is reasonable to expect people to behave respectfully - but codifying it is counter-productive because it leads to a strict compliance based approach rather than common sense.

These days, they all have their rights, and if you dare to open you mouth and say anything, its discrimination.
Best just to keep your thoughts to yourself, make mental notes, or make notes on note pad on phone, or tablet, or ipad, and relate all the gory details to us here.
We will listen, and share your laughter, thoughts, cries, etc.
And yes, your moans.
Edit: though, must say that if people act up, out of the norms, I guess it can be construed as a a security threat, and they can call AFP.
So, please, don't make a scene, or a fuss out loud.
Just come and tell us what you saw.

The problem is where the line is drawn

Cutting toe nails in the lounge, now is that bad, or is that BAD?

I saw that on the bus recently...

 

[TomVexille]

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

Also known as the Queensland safety boot

Its BAD tres tres BAD

 

[AustraliaPoochie]

Worst than digging out the toe nail jam!
Or if you saw a condom in the shower zone of a QFd/QFi lounge?

 

[Mrsfefe]

Influencer then (whatever that is)

Unlikely. Pyjamas cover too much skin for the average influencer.
