I actually feel better next morning on a redeye if I've changed into PJs for the flight and just before landing, changed back into street clothes, even if it's the same pair of jeans as the previous evening, but with a change of underwear and a clean t-shirt. I do however wait until I'm in the air before putting on the PJs though.

I'll probably bring along some BA first PJs for my LAX-SYD flight next year, though I'll be in in PE, unless the upgrade fairy puts in an appearance.

I recently saw a passenger on my flight board the aircraft wearing his pajamas. He seemed very comfortable and not at all embarrassed.

But he was only about three or four years old.

The first time I flew Qantas J I was offered the pjs and politely declined. The FA stated "sir everyone wears the pajamas so you really should take them". I obliged and figured I'd give them a shot. They were comfortable but a little short for me. Better than jeans. And sure enough most people were wearing them.

Anyone boarding in PJs gets the nod of individuality. Lord Sebastian Flyte had his teddy bear Aloysius and Duckie of Pretty in Pink fame had his mismatched wardrobe. OP of FT shall have his pajamas accentuating his firm buttocks and likely camel toe. Perhaps little children will stare in amazement that a grownup is dressed just like them, meddlesome biddies will huff and tut tut over such a spectacle, insecure pax will recoil in fear and others will marvel at the awesome expression of individuality. One thing is certain, the OP will still be better dressed and better behaved than a large number of passengers on that aircraft.

One note of caution, my TG and BR pajamas are supposedly high quality. And yet, they are somewhat flimsy. I would not want to be wearing them during an emergency evac or if there was a fire. (I have never experienced AA PJs so I can't comment on AA quality.) Nor would I want to have slippers on during landing or takeoff. Shoes should always be on the feet during the two highest risk parts of a flight.

To sum up: Go for it, baby and don't you worry. Draw inspiration from the great (sic) American lyricist Redfoo;
When I walk in the spot (yeah), this is what I see (ok)
Everybody stops and they staring at me
I got passion in my pants and I ain't afraid to show it, show it, show it, show it
I'm sexy and I know it

I prefer to sleep in pyjama shorts and a t-shirt and have no qualms about changing in to those pre-flight. I wouldn't care if someone boarded fully kitted out in pyjamas.

I haven't flown much on AA aircraft beyond the 77W and A321T but on the 77W one of the bathrooms is huge. I would be happy to change in there.

As someone else said on this thread, if said pax is hot+female, there's nothing wrong with wearing a provocative swimming suit.

If you want to set your own standards, fly in your own Gulfstream. Then you can sip your Macallan 36 and grumble about young people, people who don't wear galoshes, young people again, poor people, young people again, people who don't wear tailored suits, people who've never used typewriters, people who aren't WASPy old men...

It's a free market solution. Privacy comes at a cost. Until then, even if you fly F/J, you're going to have to interact with other people.

I don't disagree, but...AA CONCIERGE KEY?

PUCCI GALORE

I had this wonderful vision of some Adonis looking cool wearing pyjama bottoms and people reacting as in the Diet Coke commercial with the window cleaner. Knowing my luck I'd end up with the Gargoyle from Notre Dame shuffling through the Terminal in his slippers, boarding and wanting a glass for his dentures. I suppose we'll have people asking for Sterodent next.

My take - Frankly from a safety point of view, if you had to evacuate the aircraft in an emergency pajamas may not be your best bet. I am not going to state that "I remember the time when" as it is tedious, the time is now. As long as people are clean and decently attired (yes, we actually had one gentleman headed to Miami actually show up for a flight clad in a T-Shirt and thong - no, he did not make it past check-in. I never get to see anything truly sensational these days). I may think that people look like slobs who are wannabees in Walmartian photos - but - who knows? Maybe that exterior hides one who is a Nuclear Physicist. Wear what make you feel comfortable, just do not care if I happen to like it or not. The day that I, Pucci, pay for your ticket then you wear what I tell you - until that day wear what you like. All I will add is that if my husband decided to stroll through Heathrow, or Nice in his pajamas I would find myself a lawyer who specialised in divorce. I should add that he usually does not wear pajamas - or anything else so this could complicate matters.

Nothing is simple and straightforward on FT or in life

One data point, my travel is mostly J/F and I always change into the PJ's if the flight is long enough (6+) and/or overnight. I do it for several reasons; comfort, clothes are better on arrival not being slept in, and in case anything spills.

I think it really comes down to personal choices. Walking around in pajama's may not be the right thing to do though I totally understand the cramped conditions and trying to change in the aircraft toilet.

Dr. HFH

That's just not the case. OZ 214 or BA 38, for example.

I always remain fully clothed until the fasten seat belt sign goes off. I don't want to find myself having to run barefoot across a snowy, muddy field just west off the end of 27L or 27R at Heathrow.

My sister did on a Qantas flight in bussn. from LAX to SYD. Nobody even gave her funny looks. Took shower then pj`s all the way to the plane.

Clark Casual

I'm reminded of an old joke -

"I can only get a good sleep when I'm in the nude. Unfortunately the Flight Attendants don't understand."

I switch to comfortable soccer shorts, running socks, adidas or nike sandals and a comfortable tee and jumper before boarding. Because I generally go to sleep on the night flights in C after take off and I am more comfortable in a comfy cotton tee and shorts.

Works for me.

Only at FlyerTalk subject of pajama can create five pages long discussion.

I have seen more than few occasions where passengers wearing something which I will not wear. Just because somebody else is doing it does not mean I should do it also. I think it boils down to what OP think is appropriate, not what was observed other people doing.

Question to OP, I sure do not think you wear pajamas to your work and you think wearing pajamas to work is not appropriate. Do you wear pajamas when you step out form your home, such as quick trip to a neighbor store to buy something? When you invite people to your home, do you greet your guests wearing pajamas? Do you entertain your guests at your home wearing pajamas? Using that reference, then do you think wearing pajamas at a lounge at an airport and walking through gate area wearing pajama is appropriate? I think only OP can answer that.

Admirals Club house rule under the terms and condition states that:
The above leave a lot to individual interpretation. For me “attire” and “professional environment” sounds like what I would wear to my work. However, just past week passing through DFW spending time at AC, I saw many people wearing short due to given it is summer time, dudes exposing their hairy legs. Full disclosure, I have visited AC wearing short, and I have flown AA flights wearing short. I am sure most of them do not ware short to their work at office, and same time Admirals Club looked as not bothered by such attire of visitors. So who knows what this “attire” and “professional environment” means.
