Shoes off for take-off/landing

[JohnK]

Even if it's not policy I like it.

Couldn't agree more. You should always be prepared for the worst.

I've always kept them on for take-off and landings especially since I saw a show years ago about surviving an air disaster. They talked to survivors and it was one thing that many said was crucial to their survival - getting out of the wreck on the ground. The show went even deeper to suggest you should wear soles that won't melt easily too.

Need the experienced Qantas lounge staff to run education sessions to the FA's about footwear issues

I've been in VA International business and never been told to put shoes on for take off, premium and economy.......Well you never would take shoes off :/

Forget the shoes, some passengers seem to want to put pyjamas on immediately after boarding. Not a good look if they have to deplane. Of course its quite normal after Nostar 36/38

I am always changed into BYO PJs pre take off if in F/J for long haul - and with SQ F scuffs on. Not a good luck? I am way past caring of peoples view of how I look.

No consideration for your fellow passengers?

I do hope its not a "Look at me, Look at me"

Did you miss the bit about not caring what others think how I look?

I wouldn't imagine many people would want to look at me in my BYO PJ ensemble! $10 Kmart bottom half and $10 Rivers V necked T-shirt top half - I never wear airline PJs as many do - way too hot.

It's all about maximising travel comfort - remember what 'Ol' Blue Eyes' sang?

But we are heading a bit OT here sorry.

Shoes are a requirement to access any public bar.

I wonder if shoes are a requirement to access the inflight bar. Afterall QPub has a footwear requirement.

People may feel a bit smug with getting into the J lounge like this, but do they think about what may go wrong once on board?

In any case, footwear that's not fully enclosed probably should be avoided in flight, on safety grounds.

I always keep mine on for take-off and landing. Apart from that, it depends on where I am - if I'm in an aisle seat, I certainly want to minimize the risk of a trolley rolling over my toes.

 

[russellferrier]

Always leave my shoes on until the seatbelt light goes off. Shoes on when the seatbelt light goes on for landing.
For my helicopter flights (work) the requirement is fully enclosed footwear, no exceptions. Sometimes long sleeves, mostly short sleeves depending on company policy and always long pants.

Went through SYD security on Sunday and stopped at the chairs to put my laptop back in bag. A youngish lady was behind me and also stopped. She changed her perfectly normal flat dress shoes for a pair of rubber thongs. Seriously?

 

[PLANT]

International down the back I have have seen plenty that board in their onezies.... hood and all.... Though they are wearing shoes...I think as .... I'm still WTF and not checking shoes are on.

I think you're just following the topic flow…

I've got no problem with people boarding and deplaning in PJs (or trackie dacks etc.) It's comfort and convenience.

Wearing QF PJs on SQ might be a no-no, however.

No Skyring you wear the pjs from the flight at home. Tonight we are both in SQ attire.
Shoes on until the seat belt sign is off is the best idea.

Maybe it's just me and the Canberra cold, but I don't find flight PJs terribly practical at home.

Or in the air, for that matter. Too thin unless you put a blanket over the top. I guess that's the idea. Keep the pax nicely tucked up instead of prowling around the plane bothering the cabin crew and demanding drinks.
