Is it just me or does anybody else think/agree that standards are dropping when it comes to passengers in Business class?
I always thought there was a smart dress code for passengers in Business i.e. suits, jackets for men and smart-casual for women - certainly not jeans, trainers and/or shorts.
It seems to me that anybody can sit in Business as long as they pay for a ticket.
Mind you, some airlines can go overboard on this rule. Example - friend of mine flew United Airlines and got kicked out of Business class because she was wearing open toed high heels and no socks. She had been upgraded on an interline ticket but was still dressed smartly as it has been drilled into us FAs that one must dress to represent your company at all times. But, unless she put some socks on, she was marched back to economy.
Any ideas?
