Presumably, if there is a Dress Code introduced, PUCCI GALORE would be in charge of it, and would wander around the Lounges armed with her hair-brush collection to keep the high standards?

Anyway, glad to note a few here know about "brown shoes in Country, black shoes in Town".
PS: Also nice to see a traditional BAEC Thread

In another thread the infuriating use of mobile phones is being addressed and this too is caused by selfish individuals deciding that all that matters is them. They frequently know they should not be using their phone but do so anyway as they consider themselves much more important than anyone else.

A few years ago MrD and I had the pleasure of having dinner at the Friars Club, they have a dress code for the restaurant. MrD and our host were suitably attired, the two gentlemen who weren't wearing jackets were given loaners, huge jackets that had probably been there since biblical times - they looked better without them.
BA is not a private members club, air travel should be comfortable - no dress code should be required (however nice the dress may be !

Saudia have just announced a dress code. Shouldn't BA raise standards by doing the same?
Quote: Details of the dress code featured on Saudia Airlines website show that the airline requires guests to dress in a way that does not 'cause offense or discomfort to other passengers'. eg no shorts for men, no tight clothes for women....

Dress Code by Destination might be the answer. Sombrero to Mexico/Spain, Hawaiian shirts and thongs to that place, Suits to NYC or DC, Safari gear to Africa?

More honoured in the breach than the observance I'm afraid T8191. Brown suede loafers have frequently been known to alight at Waterloo, but then I daren't stare at the footwear when passing the RAF Club

As to the RAF Club, I resigned many, many years ago.
