Wearing Thongs in Business - does it affect how you are served?

First post, hi everyone!


As long as the person next to me doesn't smell, I don't care what they wear, Y or J.


A plane is a form of transport. I wear thongs in a car, on a bus, on a train, on a ferry, a plane is no different to me. Some people will say there's a safety reason why you shouldn't, but if women can wear heels on a plane, which need to be removed in an emergency so as not to pop the slide, why can't I wear thongs?


I've never perceived any negative response onboard because of thongs, Y or J. I'll continue to wear them because they're comfortable. I don't need people to approve of what I wear to feel good about myself, I wear what I wear because I'm comfortable and confident in myself. To be honest, I'd never wear a tucked in polo shirt, chinos and boat shoes because that's not me. But I've seen plenty of that in my flying time - each to their own!!


Pack the manners for good service, and leave the prejudices at home!
 
Not for safety reasons but because they are concerned for my health safety from others piddle on the floor of the toilet. Thanks to the hostile who did this.

What the hostie piddled on the floor ? ;)

Here I was thinking eric2011 had made a spelling mistake, but if a FA was piddling on the floor, maybe she was hostile after all! Talk about revenge!

I actually find that very expensive wool pants are actually more comfortable than jeans or other casual pants,

I actually find sleeping in my suit is the most comfortable..........that is, my birthday suit!

Trouble is, I doubt they carry enough vomit bags for me to get away with that on board.
