If I can't wear my kilt, in true Scottish fashion, in F, I guess I'll just have to fly a different airline.....

ColdWalker

I believe kilts are perfectly acceptable, as long as nothing is worn underneath of course. If you're older trews are fine too. However once the referendum has been passed, well, it is British Airways.

First Class Queries:
1) Does BA support/condone fur? I, for one, would be horrified if the rantings of the rear-lavatory peasantry of 55 D-G prevented us from bringing our finest ermine and sable, especially where ceremonial robes are concerned.

2) If our crowns/coronets/tiaras are being fitted with more exquisite jewels that day, is BA in a position to furnish us with a loan-piece?

3) Will there be milk-and-champagne fed veal? I mean, really, is this going to be a VS experience?

Commentary

Bravo on the kilts. If the Scotchmen wish to leave the UK and devolve into East Ireland, they thereby abjure of their right to wear their national dress (har har) on British Airways.

Poxball

So if the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland was to be denuded of Scotland so that the Great Britain part no longer applied, would it be renamed the United Kingdom of England, Wales and Northern Ireland?

Any by extension would the airline be known as English, Welsh and Northern Irish Airways or even the Airways formerly known as British?

I believe you have accidentally inverted the list.

BahrainLad

During periods of hot weather outside of the summer months, the Master (aka Mr. K Williams) may declare "shirt-sleeve order." For passengers travelling in the premium cabins jacket and tie may be discarded and shirt sleeves rolled up smartly to just above the elbow.

At all times Hawaiian shirts should be of a single, quiet colour.

BOB W

AFKB? and the lounges could be the MiniClubs.

Betteronacamel

I see shell suits (Burgundy coloured or otherwise) are not allowed. This is going to be a problem for at least one of our regulars.

Is one now expected to dress (Black Tie/tuxedo) for dinner in F?

Amelorn

Hopefully, white tie after 18:00. Anyone using the word "tux" should be be swiftly thrown with a minimum of ceremony into Y.

redshift27

If you insist on wearing a skirt, the list offers plenty of acceptable options.

HilFly

BA PJs will be de rigueur for dinner in F.

redshift27

Fur is allowed in F, provided of course that you shot it yourself. Faux far goes down the back.

There is nothing worn under my beloveds kilt, it is all in full working order I can assure you

"Medals and other decorations to be worn when appropriate"

I need more information - would my Jim'll Fix It Medal count - what is appropriate? I can meet all the other criteria.
