Great post.

I am kind of nostalgic for the times when travel was an "affair" and people dressed for the occasion.
I am sometimes horrified at what some of my seatmates are wearing. Am I the only one to find that Southwest's customers have never heard of dressing up for travel? Passengers with crusty smelly old tshirts with stains would be denied boarding on my airline.

I think there is some value to adding a little class and style to a time when we all have to be confined in a tube. Esthetics are important.

I am not talking about wearing a three-piece suit, but wearing good clothes, good shoes, that you feel and look good in.

It's also good psychology. Don't I stand a better chance of being helped properly if I am well dressed than if I wear dirty old sweats?

Then again, I'm French and I dress up to go to the grocery store...
