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

[Danger]

Dress code? What dress code?

Dress code? What dress code?

Please you must show some respect to culturally appropriate attire worn by Bogans.
This is there exemption to policy

Did these people’s clothing affect your enjoyment of the lounge?

 

[elanshin]

In all honesty as long as people aren't being offensive with their clothing (or lack of) I'm not sure why there's a problem with needing dress codes.

 

[sudoer]

Maybe a controversial take, but I'm not sure that breaking a dress code warrants taking identifiable photos and posting them on a public forum.

 

[KSC]

I would think for safety the wearing of some type of shoe is appropriate, in case of broken glass or sharp objects on the floor.

I wear protective gloves in public for the same reason. I’m amazed that some people don’t but I guess that’s a matter of personal choice.

Do you enjoy taking photos of strangers and posting them on internet forums?

Don't think you'll see much argument on that - there are health & safety issues both for the person themselves and others. Just not sure the public shaming is warranted, particularly for the guy in thongs.

 

[RichardMEL]

Just walk through most QLD airpprts, DRW etc and thongs are common. I get it for comfort, but also cringe. Closed shoe for me always. Still, each to their own.

I'm assuming you also walk on your hands in public, out of personal choice and have a very strong upper body.

You are wilfully missing the point that whether or not someone wears clothing for protective purposes is a matter of personal choice. Some people choose to remove their shoes and the sky doesn't fall in. Moreover, in some parts of the world it is rude to enter some spaces and keep your shoes on. You risk trying to impose your own cultural values on others while using Health and Safety as a pretext.

You can't go in a pub without footwear for that very reason, you'd be asked to leave.

It causes offense to my own sensibilities.

Jetstar chic dress code.

Qantas would not want to be liable for a barefoot incident, due to personal choice. Lines have to be drawn somewhere.

 

[Rick93]

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

'Time Traveller' perhaps ?

 

[mrs.dr.ron]

They had to pass the dragon at th door to get into the lounge !!

 

[QF029]

There was a barefoot diner in the Qantas LAX First Lounge a few weeks back.

 

[Mr H]

There was a barefoot diner in the Qantas LAX First Lounge a few weeks back.

And why not? I am barefoot right now at home. I go barefoot in my friends’ houses. I go barefoot in mosques and temples. I always go barefoot on planes.

I don’t remember whether I have been barefoot in airline lounges but I know that after a day of travelling I like to kick off my shoes and feel carpet under my toes.
