to Hawaii? Sure. it's fine. Heck, jeans are fine in F to anyplace in the world on any airline. just go read the trip reports and see what people are wearing in the F cabins and in the F lounges around the world. Plenty of jeans.
Are jeans the MOST comfortable thing to wear? Maybe not. But they are common.

Unfortunately (IMHO), the days of dressing at least moderately well (let alone getting dressed up like in ye olden days) for F travel are long gone. You'll see about anything. To Hawaii, "business casual" would have you in the top 25% of dress and jeans/t-shirt wouldn't draw a second look. Shorts/t-shirts probably wouldn't draw a second look.

My F "wardrobe" has run the gamut from a football jersey and jeans (when flying to attend a football game) to a suit and tie (when flying directly to a meeting).
Seems a consensus is forming around "do what makes you feel comfortable." I'd concur with that.

Just wear what you would normally wear in the Y cabin. The only dress code in F is for employees, non-revs, and the like.
Nothing wrong with dressing casual in F on US Airways. I wore jeans and a US Soccer jersey on a flight from MEX - PHX once and didn't ever feel out of place.

We will be flying next winter to Hawaii first class. Is it acceptable to wear jeans? I want to surprise my hubby ahead of time so I don't want to tell him to wear dress pants. Actually, I don't want him to know I splurged and got those tickets ahead of time!! We will be on a U. S. Airways 319 from Columbus and a 752 from Phoenix. If anyone has flown on those 1st class can you tell me about your experience with those flights?

Flew SQ F SIN-CDG few months ago. Didn't shower for 2 days beforehand, didn't shave for a week, wore track jacket, jeans, and hiking shoes. The first thing I heard when boarding the plane was: "Welcome, Mr. BigRedBears. You are the only passenger in F today. We will spoil you rotten"
Morale of the story: don't worry about what you wear. Just be comfortable.

No dress code, but when I fly (regardless of where I'm sitting) I always wear closed-toe and heel shoes, long trousers and a long-sleeve shirt. I have my passport & a credit card in my breast pocket in the shirt, and my phone in my trouser pocket. I know it's highly unlikely, but if I find myself having to evacuate the plane in an emergency, I'm good to go.

Given kids can wear dirty diapers and the parents declare
they will not change until after landing... it would seem one
can wear pretty much anything but don't try to board with
nothing on.
Was this this 49th response yet?
