Ahhh yes, a dress code thread. I love these. Time to put on my elitist hat.

And finally, if your u/g is confirmed, dress comfortably!!! No need to impress in a plane, IMHO.

Yeah, but when it comes time for downgrades guess who's on the list. Always dress like it matters.

Dress business casual. It's a subtle but significant difference. Keep in mind what must be going on in the mind of UA employees.

I almost always fly with tie and jacket.

May I stress that the most important thing to put on is an attitude of kindness, cheer and respect.

Waymaker, you tore a page right out of my travel bible. I couldn't agree more.

I disagree! I'd rather sit next to nicely dressed and nicely smelling people. With some charm and a kind demeanor. Rather than sit next to hairy smelly oafs in shorts, armless t-shirt and flip flops, who stick their dirty feet up on the bulk-heads!

Preach on brother Peter. I am very aware of bad attire, and have no problem looking down on those conduct and dress themselves in such manners.

Is my mother one of the few who would, even to this day, slap me upside the head for putting my feet on the wall?
