This is what I was picturing (well not you personally) when the possibility of changing at one's seat was raised, and it seems perfectly fine to me.

I have to say the last long haul flight I was on, a crew member stripped down to his t-shirt while carrying on a conversation with me. It was very disconcerting, but only one of several erratic behaviors by this particular person. (It was J, but IIRC, PMUA not BA, so that might explain some of it...)

People wear suits at work still? I haven't had a "suit" job since 1983. Of course, that's by planning. Hate the things.

Even when I did have to wear a suit to work I'd always invest a few minutes to change into normal clothing before getting on a plane.

Although pointing out one potential option where some might consider it - I do not place myself in that group......I would be in the bathroom even if I am the only F pax. Didn't think about the crew but my most recent US->UK night flight was on CO/UA and for about 4 hours didn't see any crew and pax were spread thin as well.


I agree if at all possible - shorts - regardless of departure or arrival destination weather. Planes nearly always too hot - and if not there is usually a blanket available.

Did I miss something - I thought people were replacing normal street outer clothing with PJ's - so admittedly potential yukky underwear sights - but not full on (illegal) exposure - that is way too far. Most gym shorts (usually ladies unless you are Richard Simmons) and swim trunks can be more revealing than many underwear garments).

Like I said earlier - I would not - and I would hope others would preferably not - especially if you know that your particular choice of "unmentionables" (and body structure) does not warrant any public display

Well yes, I would assume the same thing - that changing into PJs on an airplane does not involve the removing of under garments. But there was an entire thread on here a while back that highlighted the fact that our opinion is far from unanimous!

Then there's the matter that some people choose to wear styles of under garments which are not substantial enough to shield them (pun not intended) from an exposure complaint even if they do leave them on!

Quite!

Upgraded!

My typical overnight flight pants are drawstring cargo or linen pants so switching to PJ pants isn't necessary and my bottom layer will typically be a t-shirt of sorts so if I lose the sweater/outer shirt I'll just change at my seat. On a day flight the most I'll do is use the top as a sweatshirt/crumb-catcher.

Oh, and I think changing at one's seat is fine as long as they change the pants under the blanket and are wearing an undershirt. I wouldn't really want to risk dropping my clothes on any surface of the lav so would be reluctant to change there.

^ Me too. I never ever fly in a suit on a flight unless it's a domestic or short flight post or pre meeting. Personally I find suit trousers uncomfortable for a long flight plus I'm likely to dirty them. I usually fly in jeans but always change on overnight flights in J / F into PJs (after take off) as they are so much more comfortable to sleep in than jeans. I have no problem having dinner and breakfast in them and then putting my fresh clothes back on 40 minutes before landing.

I feel unusual. I alway change into pyjamas on overnight flights, regardless of class. Also I prefer my own to airline handouts. Try to make sure they stay new and in good condition. So of you see someone in Tommy Hilfiger (cheap from figleaves) then its likely me. Often in Sing / Syd trips, NYC or India. Maybe we should get some FT sets made up.

an inconspicuous shade of bright yellow then

The first time I had an F return, there were no small sizes on the outbound or the return. The medium size trouser waist band would be past my shoulders if I pull them up so the crotch is in the right place, giving either a "worse than Simon Cowell" look or settling for a "MC Hammer" alternative. I've taken my own ever since, but my daughter always asks for a small and has never got one - not sure they exist? The VS Ninja suits tend to be better in that regard.

I think children or teens would be better taking their own.

Of course, wearing racy lingerie or a Mankini (depending on whether you are M/F) and changing in the cabin is the preferred protocol if you want to get into one of Pucci's TFTG...

I am surprised you forgot the penultimate thread on the subject....

I don't really like the colour of the BA PJ's, far too dark and a lighter blue would be nicer imho. I do wish they had pockets too (or a pocket) so you could put a hankie in it. Doable but in the big scale of life not that important.

I quite like the colour of the QF ones

Oh, him and his sausage..!

I think it's less of an intrusion for the fellow passengers to get changed in the toilet. They do provide a change seat after all.

Just out of interest has anyone seen someone disembark the plane in the pajamas?
