So, if a passenger is travelling in shorts, branded sandals or flip flops or slip on shoes and a round neck tee with sleeves or a collared/polo shirt, that's not acceptable?

That rules me out of ever flying Quantas. Anyways, I agree that passengers should have clothing on and should not be barefeet. It's a question of basic hygiene and being fair to the person sitting next to them..but...too vague at the moment.

Mind you, I would never wear any of the above on a plane. Not because I'm a fashion snob - anything but, I despise fashion snobs - but because I don't think they are very practical. Jeans don't have enough "give" in them, most aircraft are too cold for a T-shirt, and sneakers are more hassle to take on and off (yes, I do take my shoes off in planes, sorry - but at least I use a foot-and-shoe deodorant spray!) and make my feet too hot. And even with the spray, you wouldn't want that

I am just uncomfortable in jeans for long flights..it's a personal preference to use jogging pants or shorts..and sandals so i can take them off/put them on as the feet so swell up during the long flights..and usually wear a t-shirt and bring a light fleece jacket if it gets cold...never ever fly with jeans or long pants or corporate stuff..

If I'm on the SYD-MEL run, I'll be in a suit. If I return on a weekend, I'll be in my jeans, sneakers and Fred Perry polo.
I don't think QF will enforce this, unless flip flops in the lounge have created a hazard with broken glass recently?
I see people on weekends wearing shorts and flip flops and I really couldn't care less.
When you fly JQi you soon learn what 'casual' really means. I was ashamed to see Australians traveling to Thailand in singlets, footy shorts and girls whose denim shorts were clearly not long enough.

So if I turn up to the Flounge wearing QF PJs from J, will I be let in? Or do I have to wear F PJs to be let into the Flounge? Of course, I'd have to be on a very lucrative dare to even contemplate this ...
But, where do QF PJs stand in relation to a stereotypical JQ bogan pax on a DPS flight wearing trackie dacks and a singlet (or indeed a T shirt with some obscure logo on it (eg a tripleJ exploding head)) - that may have cost a small fortune to buy?
Great idea QF to have dress regulations, but it's got hairs all over it.

Given about 80% of people in the PER QP (and when ever it opens J lounge) any weekday morning are FIFO WP's on their way to work, it would be an interesting move to tell them they are not welcome (Imagine turning Twiggy away from the CL because he is heading to Cloudbreak with some ministers)

Think about it: Someone buys a ticket in C or F for many thousands of $$$ which DOES allow him/her to travel in thongs and a singlet on the plane, but that same person gets turned away by the lounge dragon for "not meeting the dress code"...

But the noddy travelling in Y with lounge access gets to feel self important for getting the dress code enforced.

Have there been any airlines recently with a large number of people flying without clothes?
