Do you keep your underwear on when wearing F jammies?

That's what the duvet is for

It can get into parts that you really dont want it too

Try to keep those bits drier, that should help

(speak not ill of what was once so fine). Actually I'd even throw Sundance's hot tub and all its shocking secrets into the game.

I know I've read threads on this exact question before, but can't recall in which forum.

Of course, AA doesn't even offer PJs.

Well, it's not required.

I don't see why not wear them in J. I also don't see the point of wearing PJs at home, since that's in private. I only wear them on a plane, and wearing underwear kind of defeats the purpose of PJs.

Wow -- one must be awful shaky to have one's private bits touching surfaces while changing.

Put your underwear in the PJ bag. BA does give PJs in a bag, don't they? (It's been a year since my last BA F flight so I can't recall.)

Precisely.

Or for your connecting (onward) flight.

What do you wear on your feet? PJs and shoes seem weird. Slippers? Flip-flops?

Anabolism about what exactly did you read on other threads - Sundance's hot tub? Have they heard of Crawley? You must not believe everything that you read on here.

I've read that on SQ the FA tucks you in (although no teddy, a service I've read you offer to select posters):

While you are changing, they make up your bed (sheets, pillow, duvet) and stand by your seat to tuck you in (i.e. lifting a corner of the duvet for you to snuggle in as you hand over your clothes on the hanger). You can then order your hot chocolate or tea or even a bottle of water. Sooo pampered! But then, think of the ticket price.

Also, some dispense with PJs:

Our faithful correspondent Fraser reminds us of the perils of not wearing PJs:

I changed out of the PJs soon before landing but was then offered breakfast, result was I had tomato sauce from my omelette on my shirt until we got to the hotel and I changed.

I've had wine glasses and water spill on me enough times (usually by turbulence) to warrant wearing them on any longhaul flight.

Some like to treat fellow travelers to bit of an after-dinner show:

There are those who wear them home or even to the office:

There are reports of women in underwear and shirtless surfers (presumably quite fit so it sounds lovely) at nice restaurants:

I occasionally answered the door naked when the religious proselytizers come to harass us.

PtF and his lewd behaviour seen on here would seem to confirm it as well.

Beg your pardon mi reina but I see nothing wrong with Hiddy's question. Hell, if he's a dirty old man, where do I sign up to be his apprentice?

Only when it comes to women.

Being from Latin America and undies are always on the optional side and not standard...I would tend to say I also go commando. Havent been on BA First yet so we shAll see if I'm comfortable in the undies. heck I'd trade 2 of my SWU's for a one way BA First to LHR so la Reina Pucci can tuck me in after dinner

You're easy pleased.

Indeed....although as it's company policy not to hand out PJ's on day flights it wouldn't have mattered had I flown the route every week.

BTW my wife's Van Laack shirt contained 60% polyester.....

A bit worried by the Google Ad Words ads which are now appearing after browsing this thread. Mainly Bjorn Borg undies, with occasional look-ins for Norwegian cruises. Could it be that the Scandies are more obsessed (and monetisable) from such discussions?

I shall be clearing down my cookies after this
