But its not always possible. Because I am leaving the company, driving to the airport and jump on the plane. I change before I will go to sleep.

Like several other posters, I like to change into the pjs while still on the ground, prior to take-off. I usually only use the pj bottoms and wear a t-shirt brought from home. I find the long sleeved pj tops to be too warm for flying! I usually change back just after breakfast/just before landing.

Usually I change into PJ's after I have boarded and prior to takeoff. As others have said it's nice to arrive at your destination in a fresh set of clothes that you haven't sat in for 14+ hours. I change back after the meal service prior to arrival.

I usually change into PJs (in the lav) before TO, and get dressed about an hour before landing.
BA TATL F is the only place I've been offered the PJs. I've heard rumors of sleep suits on VS TATL UC, but never been offered them.

They are available on most longhaul routes. On SQ you'll get them on daytime flights exceeding 7 hours and evening flights exceeding 4 hours.
SQ F is designed by Givenchy and CX F is designed by Shanghai Tang.
Here's a sampling of the SQ amenities in F over the years.

Killing time before online checkin becomes available...
curious, what is the ettiquette about changing planes? Is there anyone who walks through transit in their jammies? Otherwise, you have to change four times... or wear comfortable clothing to start with (which doesn't mean I'm endorsing juicy couture or those plastic clogs that are polluting society, by the way
)

I put them on after the seatbelt sign comes off and stay in them until I get home/to work.. If I have a pair spare, I put them on before passport control and wear my coat over (hand to the stewardess once I'm seating).
I also wear sandals and pack comfy socks, I can never fathom why people wear suits onto planes for overnight flights (pack em good and they won't crease).

Pajamas
out of curiosity, who changes into PJ's on long flights?
I've been on a number of long, transatlantic/transpacific flights and the idea is becoming more and more appealing.
i was thinking i'd just switch into my pj bottoms and change back before landing.
or would that be awfully strange?
