There was a guy in the QP in Narita couple of weeks ago.. Singlet, shorts & thongs... sort of out of sync with the rest of the nicely attired folk enjoying the lounge. :shock:
I say lighten up. The days when men dare not venture out of the house without a jacket, tie, and hat are long gone. If you don't like someone else's fashion taste, either don't look or take pictures and post them along with snide remarks.Is it that hard to enforce some sort of dress standard ? Boardies are for the beach, not the QP, entry denied. Singlets are OK in hot climes, not on a plane or the QP, entry denied. Thongs (on the feet), good for the beach but not in the QP, entry denied.

That's fine but when the QP lists a dress standard as an entry requirement it becomes more than ne persons sense of fashion. "Smart Casual" I think most would agree that that doesn't include boardies, singlets or thongs.
As discussed in one of the hiviz threads, the dress code is at the particular QP manager's discretion. If you're really offended, ask to speak to the QP manager and point out the source of your complaint.
I don't know -- these days I think "smart casual" means you aren't shirtless and barefoot..."casual" means either shirtless or barefoot..."relaxed" is both."Smart Casual" I think most would agree that that doesn't include boardies, singlets or thongs.
A 220kg, 5 feet tall man wearing a g-string and fishnets..and only that!
It's OK as we still have the photos :!:I'm a bit disappointed that you had to drag me into the conversation, I mean I only did it once your honor.

And to learn Qantas requires footwear! Who cares if people want to go barefoot or not?
Would you be comfortable travelling by air without footwear?
Apart from the obvious impracticalities associated with where you may need to traverse, it also represents a significant OHS risk which you are bringing onto yourself.
The thing is that this only brings a risk to themselves so shouldn't they have the right to decide?
I don't agree with the choice and recall on my last flight on QF how the pax next to me had his socks off rubbing his foot against the laptop stowage compartment at the front of the J cabin...
In any case, the practical implications are why would you want to be bare foot anyway. Shoes aren't just for comfort and looks - they protect your feet. I'm not sure how that can be a bad thing.
I agree - I wear my shoes with the PJs until after take off on int'l flights - just in case (this is the influence jb747 has had on me). My biggest concern in the event of an emergency would be non-shoe wearers injuring themselves and slowing down my escape from the burning wreckage.
Guess who will be the first to complain about cut feet from glass or protruding aluminium after departing Y. Those in J didn't make it !!!Yes, plus one to that - I wouldn't care if they were only endangering themselves, but if they're endangering me by holding up my exit in an emergency, the selfish buggers can wear footwear, thanks!
