Some years ago I found myself on a Virgin Atlantic Upper Class flight from Washington to London. Due to the short flight time they recommended that passengers change into their brighter coloured (unlike BA) sleep suits and then board directly using the door only accessible via the club lounge in Washington. So, I got changed. I think I was the only one.
Then, nightmare...
The door from the club lounge became unserviceable so we were asked to board via the main door but they called us just as everyone started boarding. So, to my great embarrassment, I had to head to the back of the line wearing my sleep suit and slippers. I remember some very odd looks amongst the other passengers.
Flight was good though but made a note-to-self not to do it again.
