T5 Galleries and Nice Airport Lounge - Travelling Club Europe - Dress Code?
Hi.

Trying to establish is there a dress code for access to either the Galleries lounge in T5 or the Nice Cote D'Azur Airport Salon Club Riviera lounge in Nice airport at all? My brother in law is looking at whether he can wear shorts or not and I wasn't sure. Have searched but can't really find anything that says either way

Thanks
Sarah

I'm sure shorts will be just fine! No dress code to worry about - I have seen plenty of folk wandering about in shorts in the lounges!

No shorts or sandals. If male you should wear a tie. If female a pretty frock.

In T5 you probably have to wear clothes.

That is all.

Even if there is no formal dress code, I would still think in terms of what is acceptable or inoffensive to others.

Shorts in the lounge at either T5 or NCE, I would say is fine as long as they are decent.

If this were a formal breakfast room in a top hotel, then I would find shorts much less acceptable (even if not strictly against any defined dress code).

There is no dress code. People walk around in pyjamas sometimes. Shorts not even at the edge. It's a waiting room for a form of public transport, nothing more.

(Whether you wish to bow to some imaginary code ŕ la 'what is acceptable to others' is, as always, up to you )

The main thing is not cause offence. As long as you don't try to tell other people what they should be wearing you won't do that.

If you were a BA tie the lounge dragons will give you more respect and make sure you get the service you deserve...

Nope, no dress code other than sense.
