I can still remember the guy with a tank top on sitting in the next chair alongside me as he lifted his arms to stretch to give me a whiff of his BO and show me his underarm jungle, I noted he had an old pair of worn out thongs on, yep nothing like a bit of classic decorum in the lounge.

Sure it was a guy :lol: :?:
 
Well he had a long beard but it could have been a disguise :)

I guess the old worn out thongs and the boxer shorts would have been giveaway :eek:

:shock: ---> :evil:
 
Might be slightly off topic, but...I'm in the Emirates lounge in SG.
Lots of men here wearing sandals and thongs, seems most are in J or F too.

No one cares, wonder if the same is true in the Dubai lounges...surely someone on AFF that transits/visits DXB would know (I dont, but I know the Hawaiian lounge in OGG and HNL sandals and thongs are the norm).

Meat fest here, lamb and satay for the meat lovers, good prawns and vietnamese paper rolls too.
 
Interesting view, but having watched with interest an older pax refuse PJs on trip to Johannesburg - ... Turbulence ... Red wine on nice trousers ... My question is why be too proud to wear airline PJs?? - hang up your clothes and arrive with clean crease free free outfit ! Thank you Qantas please continue to provide me with pjs !! I am about to be 60 - think that makes me more sensible actually!!

You sleep 'cool' in them, don't care what the fashionistas think. My sleep is most important so agree.

As for ripped jeans I am told you buy them ripped these days, indeed extra!!! How silly is that??

This probably belongs in the Qantas / Emirates forum, but I didn't want to start yet another thread on the topic.


Bad behaviour at airport - Yahoo!7

Dress standards and behaviour at the exclusive Emirates lounge at Perth International Airport have taken a dive since the alliance with Qantas in April, according to airport sources.
Beer-drinking Qantas passengers in thongs and singlets are now rubbing shoulders with Emirates' champagne-sipping first-class passengers.

Surely EK understood that something like this would happen.

Sounds like some with status & limited class.
Along with the feet on seats syndrome & the singlet wearers with hygiene issues so often prevalent in Australian lounges nowadays. :evil:

It would be nice to be greeted by any other colour but orange when entering one of the Clubs !

They can start by policing dress standards...
I totally agree, you would be refused at most reastraunts with thongs ,singlets , etc, I am NO way a snob but I think some people go out of there way to awkward , I think it's about time lounges were policed on this issue,or before too long some airlines will have a dress code, IMO.

thongs and singlets? What did they have on their feet? :shock:

There is no commercial airline in the world that could introduce a dress code (above the very basic standards which are now enforced) and stay in business. I would personally not fly on any airline which had an 'enforced' dress code in any class (including F) and I have never purchased a pair of thongs or a singlet in my entire life. If I do not like the brand of suit you are wearing, can I tell you go away until you get something better?

The question I have is why do people care what others are wearing? The QP is just another public area (with an entry fee). It is nothing more than that.

Fact is, everyone (well, at least everyone with more grey matter than an amoeba) has a limit to what dress standard they find acceptable - that standard just happens to differ considerably for different folk. Even the the most relaxed posters here would, I think, draw the line at say blokes wearing g-strings and nothing else in the QP or on the plane.
It's certainly not something that is going to be agreed upon by everyone, ever.
I'm not really fussed by what others wear as long as hygiene is not an issue, and I don't have to see parts of bodies no one should have to see in public (and what constitutes that in itself is subjective).
Me, I like to wear a collared shirt, long strides and enclosed footwear when I fly - just what I'm comfortable with.
