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

[RichardMEL]

Absolutely. it's all about behaviour to me rather than dress sense. I mean I think people wearing thongs (aussie type) onto aircraft are mad - but that's more a safety thing (and my desire to wear a closed shoe may be just as useless too of course) but honestly the loud facetimers, the selfish people with no headphones and no sense of "right place, right time"(eg: toenail cutters) or who don't attempt to control kinds going feral (I have sympathy for those that do try!) and massive entitlement/DYKWIA types are the kinds of people that annoy me in lounges/aircraft more than a bin tang singlet or thongs (either type lol) or whatever.

If I am in a lounge and get or make a phone call I try to be as quiet as possible and do worry if I'm not. I don't want to bother anyone else as much as I don't want to be bothered by them. imo.

I would like Peter Alexander to design a pj just for flights. Getting dressed up is silly. Especially very long flights. I’m 70 I took my fist flight on Qantas when 23. Smoking was allowed and it was horrible.
We dressed to the nines, but looked like a bag lady by the time we arrived. We had a breakdown of plane in India so stuck there for hours and not dressed for it.
Hundreds of flights later I have standard clothes I wear, usually a scarf that can cover my head and use as a shawl,
Runners and jacket with a hood. If we all could pick a pj that would be fun and comfortable.
Qantas could commission a traveling pj, they used to actually give you a hand luggage bag. Lots of kids bought them for school bags. So long as you’re clean that’s really all that matters.

Welcome to AFF @RhondaG

When I flew with my boss during the smoking era, we were both non-smokers but he chose smoking seats so we'd have "one more degree of freedom"

If we all could pick a pj that would be fun and comfortable.

Flying QR, or the other airlines that allow you to 'close the door', I do choose my own PJs to bring!

re airline PJ's - pre the clearly much loved Lalique branded ones, SQ suites had, what I consider and value, the best PJ's ever. No branding on them (of label or airline), fit well and smartly designed that could ALMOST pass for track pants and a casual top if you didn't know tbh. Now I'm not saying I'd wear them in a lounge or down the street, but you could do worse (like a dirty old tee and old trakkys). Really nice, comfy, some quality and yeah no obvious branding (cuz as cute as the QF J with the huge roo are, seeing ppl wearing them in coles or whatever is a bit... idk.... but each to their own).

I was really disappointed when they switched to the Lalique and the huge branding was, for me, a put off.

Agree the previous ones were great - but you are not quite right about no branding - look more closely at the zip tag. The Lalique ones are part polyester and a definite step down.

oooh subtle!!! thanks for that.

OK no large and obvious branding

My PJ's are very simple. Some shorts (ideally a little loose fitting) and a plain t-shirt. Often will have collared shirt with pocket over the t-shirt entirely respectable in a lounge, and great for carrying passport (admittedly a very guy thing), which I remove when I'm ready to sleep or get comfortable - added advantage of not needing to go to toilets to change. Perfect for arrivals into my home port of SIN but will change into jeans or pants prior to landing if travelling into circa or sub zero conditions, but even landing in MEL in the middle of winter, a jumper is enough to get me into a taxi or uber.

I tend to use my own PJ's on flights, lightweight Peter Alexander pants and any light weight tee shirt. I find most airline PJs to hot but it does not stop me taking them and giving them away. There are a few sets that I have held onto but for what purpose I do not know.

So long as no celebrity designers are involved.

Imagine Neil Perry Salad Green PJ's.

I've had cases where:

Loud Phonecall Guy (tm)

and

Tattooed, bemulleted guy in rubber thongs and a Bintang singlet..

Are the same guy.

Is that the worst case scenario?



I'm with you. Had no idea who or what that was.

Hey there Offshore,
this may be getting into technical nuances, but I would actually be less annoyed by the guy in thongs with a mullet talking loudly, as they are clearly a person who is simply oblivious to the rest of the world, where as the guy dressed smartly is most likely a prat who just has a sense of self-importance.

 

[Matt_01]

What a good idea, but I am not that smart to remember to put them on and even if I did I would most complain they are to hot and take them off. I am sure MrsM would tell me to cover up as no wants to see a 50+ male painting the house in his jocks.

No such thing, MissM has been travelling F and J since she was born. She is now going on 16 and for all those who warned me that I was creating a travel monster you are correct.

 

[Quickstatus]

They exist

Don't give the QF cabin crew uniform designer any ideas please

 

[MARTINE]

And you would not have it any other way.
Nothing worse than parents in J who put kids in goat class.

Not sure I understand your point. Can you be more specific

 

[MARTINE]

I agree with you flying in J with your child. We have known people who always travelled up the front whilst the kids did not. Not something we would do

Then the children come up to visit their parents blocking the J aisle.
