No, in short. It's public transport, like it or not. Catching a flight is no different than catching a bus or a ferry. If you wish to dress up, fine, if you wish others to dress up, buy your own jet.
Saudia i suspect have implemented this rule for religious reasons.

Just what I always dreamed of.
Ah - the thread - we start emulating the Saudis? That and the fact that it's a "dry" airline are reasons enough never to fly them. Ever.

On a longhaul, you'll find me wearing tracksuit bottoms, t-shirt and trainers. If I feel that I want to 'dress up for the occasion', I'll wear a pair of jeans.
Comfort over whatever anyone else says/cares

YES! For men... Suits and ties and lace up leather shoes ONLY. And don't even THINK of removing any of them....standards must be maintained!
And get a bloody haircut!

That'll have to be a no from me.
As long as I'm not seeing T&A then IDC if a man wants to wear shorts and a girl wants to wear tight clothing - I for one am nooooooooot gonna suit and boot for a damn 14 hour plus flight. Heck I dont even want to on a SYD > MEL trip which is under 2 hours.

Folks, a couple of posts have been removed which made and spawned political comment. Let's keep this light-hearted and fun in the spirit of the way the thread has developed, shall we?

I think it should be compulsory for all men to wear a string vest and nothing else above the waste (except that a knotted hankerchief on the head would be allowed on sunny days), tailored shorts, black business socks and sandals. I suspect a lot of British men would feel quite at home in that attire... after all, they wear it on the beach in foreign parts all the time.

I'm sure that I've told you that we actually had one person who rolled up to check in clad in a T-shirt, a thong, and white Gucci loafers. This was a good number of years ago, I did not see this myself, but the person who told me and who told him to go and put some bl**dy clothes on is/was a policeman. Yes, it was pillow talk. There! My reputation is shot. Again.
