QR F - dress code?

Just wondering if anyone knows the dress code rules for QR First class please?

I obviously won’t turn up in shorts and flip flops, but all the information online seems to be people asking questions about J as far as I can see.

So long trousers - are jeans acceptable, or should I be looking at a nice pit of chinos, or even something a bit more formal?!

It looks like a ‘collared shirt’ might also be required? I’m guessing a polo shirt wouldn’t count… what about a T-shirt with a blazer on top?

Footwear… are trainers a no-no?

TIA

I have been in F on QF wearing shorts and flip flops.
Jeans and a T Shirt will cause fewer looks from other passengers but the crew wont care.

Hey Globalist, thanks for the reply.

Just to double check - your experience was in Qatar first class - and not Qantas?

I was thinking about being a little more moderate/conservative in my attire, given culture etc.

Also whether it impacts access to Al Safwa lounge or not! Cheers

I have flown F on SQ, Malaysia, Qantas, Thai, BA and Cathay only.
My experience is that clothes don't matter.

I understand the QF lounge in Sydney has a no slippers policy but as I was ticketed in F they did not raise an eyebrow.

On any airline, jeans, Tshirt, sportshoes will be decent enough. If you are ticketed in F it doesn't matter what you wear as long as it is not bottomless leather chaps with a harness top. Just make yourself comfortable for travel. In most cases I have changed into F pyjamas before takeoff anyway.

I was ticketed J with access to Al Safwa as I am Platinum. I wore shorts, a t-shirt and loafers and nobody batted an eyelid.

I've seen shorts on QR F many times. Wear what you would be comfortable in.

Flown QR in biz and F for many years (and others), always in shorts and tshirt, and never had anyone react in any way. Same goes for all lounges.

Do what makes you comfortable.

OT but that Qantas lounge dress code only applies to domestic flights

Nothing less than a morning dress for day flights. White tie for the evening/overnight bank. I believe a top hat is still mandatory for Al Safwa access.

I think I’ll go with the bottomless leather chaps.

Thanks though, I get it! 😂

First time in F and I’ve clearly read the wrong things through Google!

Hey buddy

T-shirt and a light weight wrinkle free blazer should get you by. As for trousers get yourself a pair of UnderArmor golf slacks...they look great and are very comfortable for travel.
This always gets me through the transition from First Class flight to luxury hotel (IE: Conrad Osaka) without looking like a slob.
