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

If the issue is smelly people, why not bar people who smell rather than try to catch them with the clothes they might be wearing? Or is this more about social class than body odour?

There’s stinky types around, and nothing classy about that

The sweatiest and smelliest of all are men in full suits on a 40 degree day. Perhaps they should be banned.

If the issue is smelly people,

There are showers in most lounges....

Yeah but that will only help if the people in question have clean clothes to change into.

clean clothes to change into.

QF JimJams

QF JimJams

Even better idea.
Dress Code: QF JimJams

Everyone on an International QF lounge has to wear QF JimJams
Passengers in F get to show off in their F JimJams everyone else gets to slum it in the J JimJam. Those travelling in less than J only get the top

So they don't wear pants? Imagine the skid marks on the seats!

I'm sure they wear pants to get past immigration

There is no dress code for international lounges (or non-capital city domestic lounges)

 

[Quickstatus]

There is no dress code

That's the problem... according to some

People who smell - smell in spite of knowledge and presence of showers..

 

[Sprucegoose]

So you don't like someone with tank top and hairy armpits, even if they just sit there and do nothing? Geez...

But will accept the mining royalties !!

So in summary there are 2 camps:
Stickler for the Rules in the Blue corner
Rebels without a cause in the Red corner

I think you have called the colours correctly.

I think you have called the colours correctly.

Well that depends if one is talking politics (and in that sense, which country's?) or airlines?

so would be be Red Roo for the rules types and (Virgin) Blue for the rebels?

Anyway back to the smell issue.. you have the exact same issue as the subjective one of clothing imo.

Do we also include people who overdose with the perfume/aftershave and can have an overpowering effect on those around them as "smelly"? It may not be dirt or sweat, but a really strong perfume can be just as difficult for some.

So then what?

And what of smokers - where that smell clings to clothes (so showers don't help) and can be offputting to some.

slippery slope there.

I know the "smelly people" discussion is not serious in terms of oh there should be a "smell code" rather than a "dress code" so I'm just adding some points to the conversation rather than anything else.

I'm in the Red Corner

 

[Mr H]

I'm in the Red Corner

We’re red, we’re red
We’re red ‘til the day we’re dead

"Make QF domestic lounges dress code free Again"?

there's a slogan for a hat some some kind of colour

 

[p--and--t]

This post is not a political statement nor an indication of my opinion either way of the previous posts in this thread

Does 'no dress code' apply for Qantas First Lounges?
