My preference is that the female passengers all wear burkhas - there are some damn ugly women out there

Emirates really should enforce a stricter dress code so that passengers are wearing more appropriate clothing on their aircraft. It doesn't take much effort to dress more respectfully in the company of 500 or so people.

I am glad I also book the suites. I would wear one of those "things" but I would scare myself after seeing me in the mirror. I'll just stick with my "leggings."

I had a flight to the US last year in EK J where a man came out of the toilet only wearing his boxer shorts and a T shirt. One way to insure you are comfortable I guess.

I didn't have my phone with me so couldn't snap a picture for "passenger shaming"!

In combination with the more 'chavvy' element on board, the sense of dress code is lacking too. There really is no need to wear a gym mesh singlet and running shorts on board an aircraft.

Yeah, but was she cute?

Isn't that pretty much aligned to most of the tourist visiting the city ? Dubai is turning into chav central (or already has become a chav central)

To a great extent it does rather depend on where one decides to hang out

And there are some damn stupid men out there too. My preference would be an IQ test for male passengers.

Dress code? I only wear sweats... nothing like wandering through first class lounge in sweats in sneakers.

I always have connecting flights and usually go to a destination 7-13 hours in flight. there's no way in hell your expecting me to wear fitting fancy clothes to board a plane. I want to be comfortable, even if i'm switching to pjs.

People showering should be more of a concern than a dress code.
