BA Pajammas
Hi all-
I'm flying a TATL on BA for the first time next week. My wife and I will be in CW on the A380. Sounds silly, but I'd really love a pair of BA pajammas to sleep in. What are the odds the cabin crew would hook me up? First world problem, I know.
Thanks!

No PJs in CW on BA at lla I am afraid.
I always bring my own and change in to them when going to sleep in CW. Yes there is the initial feeling of self-conciousness the first time you do it but I am beyond that now. At the end of the day sleeping in your day clothes is not comfortable - when would you ever sleep in them at home? Also you don't end up getting off the plane wearing clothes you have just slept in.

Remote, I'm afraid. Whenever I fly in F there aren't enough of the items like slippers, socks, pyjamas for everyone in the cabin, let alone other cabins. This is pretty consistent though it's usually presented apologetically as a one-off aberration.
If you really want to acquire a pair your best bet is probably ebay.

I know I've read the odd report here of the occasional item not being available but it certainly isn't a constant problem in my experience.

All should be offered proactively and are not on request.
I would advice against asking for a sleeper suit if you are travelling in CW as you will very likely be refused.

I usually come on to a l/h flight (whether day or night) wearing something like a shirt/trousers and jacket or jumper. I either have BA-issued or home-issued clothes for the flight, loose top, comfortable but loose bottoms. Not football training gear or Juicy Couture, but I think you get the idea. Lufthansa gives out a very nice F van Laack set. With an hour to go, I change back in my clothes which are neither creased nor have the sucked up airplane+sweat smell.

I occasionally wear my CX F pajamas on BA and SQ flights in J and always get complimented by the crew! Never received any compliments though if I wear QF ones... frankly they look rather sloppy after few washes.
