This thread reminds me of one of my favourite scenes from 30 Rock.

Technically it is not public transport but rather private transport.Following the idea that has been mentioned many times on this forum that air travel is just another form of public transport .... then the QP or whatever lounge it may be, is just like another bus stop.
We love opening cans on AFF!....- so really it opens a can of worms.

Would any AFFer out there care to explain the basis on which the wearing of a pair of rubber thongs into an airport business lounge somehow conforms to the phrase "smart casual"? Please?

JohnK, Qantas' Air Operators Certificate is for RPT, which means "Regular Public Transport."
It is transport provided by a private (OK listed on stock exchange) company. Can anyone walk in off the street and enter the lounge? So it is nothing like a bus stop.And I would disagree there.
The flight operates on a schedule, you can hop on and off as many flights as you want as long as you have a valid ticket. Similarly with lounge access, its not a private room; you buy the right ticket and access is complimentary.
I am not even going to look at the link but thongs are thongs no matter how much they cost. I have seen people spend thousands to buy rags. :shock: Does not make them acceptable in public though.And a $17,000 pair of thongs
QC, Flounge.. they're all the same concept but with differing quality. If the lounge dragons allow 'yobbos' to get in with perceived sub-standard attire then good luck to them. If that's a problem for those that take offence, stiff cough.
I have and will continue to wear thongs inside the FLounge whether people or not think its appropriate.
Actually, it's up to the lounge reception people whether you will wear them or not - you won't wear them in the lounge if they won't let you in!
