new QF dress regulations - social media backlash

[Deleted member 29185]

they are according to this Tommy Hilfiger Women's Patent White Leather Flip Flops | Royal Tag

I like your smiling face! Obviously a spruiker gabbing on about their own product can be believed without question! :mrgreen:

If you have an issue with what other people are wearing, they don't have a problem, you do.
What others are wearing has no impact, at all, on the lounge being a "reasonably decent environment". How people act and behave does.

I believe you forgot to add "IMHO" at the end. Everything around you constitutes the lounge environment. If the lounge is full of rubbish, part eaten food, empties etc, that's not a nice or 'reasonably decent environment'; it would be pretty crook to me. Similarly, if its full of people wearing looking like they've just come off a muddy building site and/or straight from Mardi Gras, that too is a poor lounge environment for me, no matter how well they behave. I know others might feel perfectly at home with such, but then some feel at home in tip-wear as well.

Just like some people spend hundreds on torn/ripped clothing and think it's trendy.

I'm sat in the OOL QP this morning and my fiancée was appalled to find they're not enforcing the new dress code here. We're quite disappointed.

If they made that outfit unacceptable in the OOL Qantas Club, hardly anyone would use it...

Its the pink bag that is a worry....."Hurley" turley....should be tapped on the shoulder to bin the shirt too

see I think the guy in the shirt, shorts and thongs looks ok! The shirt looks smart, as do the pants. And the thongs go ok with it.

I'm inclined to agree. Thongs really arent the end of the world...

It is funny how customs do change. I dislike thongs and singlets (especially if emblazoned with offensive logos.......even though I personally am not offended easily by slogans), but have a look at the photo above and look to the elderly gentleman seated. I was always taught that it was disrespectful to wear a hat indoors and even to this day, I remove a hat/cap to go inside, yet most would not even notice it. I guess the easiest way to carry a hat, is on a head and removes the risk of leaving it on the seat beside him.

But you're only a few paces from it!

I regularly fly on a carrier that will not allow boarding without enclosed shoes......people manage that huge imposition without a worry and I have never once witnessed someone turned away as everyone is well aware of the policy. It's not difficult to comply with terms and conditions and most of us do it constantly on a day to day basis in life.....a dress code in an airport lounge is no different.

I was informed in SYD the reason it was acceptable is its a "tier 2" lounge. Capitals are "tier 1".

 

[Ansett]

To me a Qantas Club Lounge is a Lounge is a Lounge and is a Lounge and ALL should be treated in the same way to ensure product consistency. Tier 1 2 or 3 shouldn't matter.

The clothes are fine.

Judging by the death pallor of those feet, he doesn't seem to be an habitual thong wearer.

Except Hobart, it seems. But then again, when have QF given much more than a flying fig about HBA?

The HBA QP makes the ADL VA lounge look massive.... Everyone was well dressed down there the other well though, to a thong to be seen.

The guy in the hat was under cover boom boom!

a hat inside = shout the bar

A fairly cheap shout in a QP!
