Jeans and sports shoes in Business & First!

Finally - in 2 days from now (beginning Feb. 18) - we can wear jeans and sports shoes in Business and First Class while ID traveling. I'm still waiting for them to kick me off for my loud Aloha shirt...

Funny how the small stuff makes things a bit more tolerable. Blue skies.

Aloha

Sports shoes less weight than dress shoes?

Conspicuous?

Finally, someone has realised that I.D. travellers dressed in jeans and sports shoes are less conspicuous than if dressed in jacket and ties/ dinner jackets etc.

It didn't take long, did it?

No Jeans?

OK, so in the first section under "First and Business Class cabins" it gives an example as:
Trousers/chinos/jeans and a collared shirt.
Then later in the document it says in the IN-Flight Dress Code section:
Full length/tailored trousers - no denim jeans...
and then
Pleas note that clothing made of denim material is not acceptable for travel in Business or First Class
Glad they make things nice and clear.

B******s, they put the 'valid until the 17th Feb 2013' in larger text and in a different colour. If only they had made the text larger still and in red, maybe that would have been OBVIOUS!

OK, got it now. When you print it out at CX the "valid until 17 Feb" is printed on the last line in the same colour as the rest of the document so i missed it.

Our mob woke up to reality a couple years back , "nice" shorts even now acceptable. All those years dragging around sport coats and loafers...

However, I will never dress as bad as some of our biz/first class pax. Buy some freaking clothes already. Fat, drunk, old, and shabbily attired is no way to travel!

What have I ever done to offend you?

Surely though you are going to miss the thrill of a check in agent whose attired breaks every rule in the book, stepping from behind the desk to check what [B]you [B]are wearing..

Koan have you ever told any of your biz/1st passengers how you feel about their dress mmmm thought not, if you ever had the outright cheek to try and tell me a full fare paying passenger how to dress you would be in front of your CP. I dress how I want, I have a goatee beard and a pony tail does that exclude me from travelling? Normally wear jeans and a comfortable polo shirt let me who pays the money wear just what the hell I like.

Fergineer, I think you are missing the spirit of the thread. This is not about how you dress or look , but about the outdated internal rules we had imposed on us.

In the past I had my mother rejected by the staff travel fashion police, because she was wearing special shoes due to her recent hip replacment op. At the same time there were biz class passengers checking in shorts and flip flops.

Quite a few boganaires Tavel in business and first class. The ones that drink the bar dry and piss off the cabin crew asking for stuff all of the time. Usually they pinch things after the flight too.

Ahhhhh the great unwashed have rights too you know!!

I believe our former CEO (David Downturn) used to travel in First.

Hey de facto I have seen a goat flying in first before...
BORAT Airways "the flying goat man"

Only one class: "THE FIRST"

because FIRST comes FIRST served

And next time you seat in first, do not turn your head and wonder who is this beautiful girl with white pearly curly hair wearing dark sunglasses.
IT might be a SHEEP travelling incognito BEHEHEHE.
