Wear socks! Am I the only one who finds bare feet quite repulsive? Especially if they were first covered with socks and shoes...

I normally just go as comfortably as possible - first is still plane travel and feeling comfortable is a must.

No, I do too, seen some ghastly ones.
Also why would anyone, (unless American flying domestic) wear shorts on a plane, the sight of large flabby thighs just puts me off and please don't go "commando" and wear baggy shorts and cross your legs!!!
I am just waiting for the replies from the pax who feel that by dressing down makes them ------ no I can't say it.

I wear shorts. Why? They are the most comfortable as aircraft to me are always to warm. No commando but shorts is what I normaly wear.

First dress code

I wear shorts too. Often because I'm travelling to warmer climes whenever I'm in First. And I have beautiful legs. So I've been told

What a load of nonsense, all this talk of shorts, T-shirts and barefeet

It's not a day out at the beach

We arrive in top hat and tails and change into black tie for dinner. We then change into PJs for sleeping only. One wouldn't want to be seen egressing one's jumbo improperly dressed in the event of an emergency. Stiff upper lip and all that

Seriously, surely we can make a small effort and don a pair of trousers and a proper shirt together with a sensible pair of comfortable shoes. Ties, cravats and blazers aren't necessary but imposing frat house habits on others is a bit thoughtless in a relatively small space.

Is a monocle necessary or merely recommended - challenging to purchase in duty free of course. Maybe the CSD would have a spare?

C&C Warning!

Oh, lordy. It's time I introduced you wonderful people to the concept of putting a "C&C Warning" on certain threads or posts. "C&C" meaning "Cat & Coffee (or Coke)", as in "Remove cat from lap and don't drink while reading this." My screen avoided inundation only by sheer luck in timing.

Quite right my friend.

Going down the slides in your shorts will give you a 'wedgie' which isn't very nice or digified

Wear what you'd normally wear to fly. Nobody cares. Everyone ends up a bit drunk and wandering around in a pair of blue pjs anyway. It's great :-)

Let me tell you, life hasn't been the same since they stopped me bringing my swordstick on board. Very useful for fighting off the natives on arrival in wild places like Baltimore (and that's not me trying to be funny ).
