Yes. And they've had ones done just for the A380, too.

You should do if you ask for it. I quite like using the top incase I spill wine, or food on myself...

Of course I'm also assuming you're in the F cabin :-)

You should do, there is no discrimination between day and night flights as far as I am aware, plus some wish to sleep on day flights hence the great window blinds debate.

A premium above free given that's what they cost the recipients?

And what kind of F pax can be bothered to put such things on eBay?

Tesco Tourists?

£10 has been bid. Unbelievable.

Looking at
http://www.ebay.co.uk/bhp/british-airways-first-class

Shows things like stolen knives and forks for sale.

Glad to know this has changed. Asked for one in F on the way to Dubai once and it was sorry, sir, but this is a day flight so no sleeper suits are stocked.

What did BA do, sling some matresses on the floor for you all to bunk down on?

I cannot remember a time in the last 10 years where PJ's have not been available on day flights. I always change into them as I am prone to spill things on myself.

Skinny jeans are not the most comfortable flight wear, so I would be a bit annoyed if no sleeper suits were available on a day flight. Thankfully they always have been - albeit sometimes large clown size (medium is ok, and have never seen small.)

I tend to slip a pair of the bottoms from home (from previous flights) in the front pocket of my carry on if i am in club.

Over the last two months, I have sold five sets of BA pajamas on ebay. They routinely sell for $20 - $25.

Should I have just thrown them in the garbage?????
