First time in J- few questions
Hi guys,
Hoping to gain some insights from the FFF on this forum!
I'm traveling on EK032 from LHR -DXB leaving at 17:00
As it's a night flight, will I be receiving the amenity kit?
Will the bar be fully setup?
As most people will be wanting to maximise on sleep, is it fine to put on pyjamas early on in the flight or do people tend to not wear one as it's only 5hr something of a ride.
Do you receive pyjamas on this overnight flight?
Thanks in advance!

The bar will be fully open about 1 hour after take off (maybe sooner) and the flight is about 6 hours 30.
I doubt people will sleep much on that flight given the take off time and arrival in Dubai although in the early hours will only be around 12.30am/1am (4am DXB time).

Thanks guys. In terms pyjama etiquette is there one on these kind of flights?
I'm use to the BAEC board where there is a whole thread on this a while back- some amusing anecdotes!

Yeah, PJ's at the bar is about as naff as you can get. And the real irony is that the (fortunately, very few) people who do it actually think it's cool......
I suppose it is - at least, to anyone who believes it's cool to go from your room down to the bar in a five star hotel kitted out in pyjamas.

LOL you guys are funny. If I'm in my pajamas already I'm not going to change back into my normal clothes to walk back to the bar. We're on a plane, not a bar or night club on the ground. I don't spend more then 10-15 minutes at the bar though, I just walk back there when I get bored.
But the wet hair part, yea thats a bit much. I always make sure my hair is nice and combed no matter what I'm wearing.

I always change into my EK,BA,Gulf or Thai F PJ's (whatever I have packed) when ever I fly in J on day and night flights. I normally change before take-off.
I do it , not to look cool (I look a prat) but for comfort and to ensure my travelling clothes are clean and fresh-the pj's having taken the spillage from the fizz and food

I'm sorry but your seat is private - do what you like there but the bar is more akin to a public place albeit on a plane. I just think at your seat is fare game, at the bar you should be dressed.

Curiously, was recently on EK412 in J. A few of us were at the bar, turns out one of the F passengers was a regional director with a large retail company. She was an I/O and had the crew breaking all kinds of protocol, pouring us J plebs Dom. Mind you, she said she had been through DXB 34 times YTD (this was in August), so I'd expect to do whatever I want too.

If you're in F (as a fully paid pax - if those exist), then I'd want to wear my PJs anywhere.

Sharing Dom with friends in J is pretty standard, only on occasion to some pursers get funny about it. We flew to HKG in F our friends in J and we all shared some Dom at the bar.
The point was about wearing Pjs at the bar. Each to their own but when I see this I just think its ridiculous. One time I did see a couple at the F chauffeur drive still in their PJs!
