Well the airline would probably frown if I showed up to fly the plane in my favorite old ripped up Levis and boots. I’d sure as shite be a lot more comfortable though.

Wearing flip flops on the plane is dumb.

They take up the least space of any footwear in your luggage.

Depends if I am rolling straight into a work meeting.

If personal travel … joggers/t-shirt/pull over in bag, sneakers.

I wore a sport coat yesterday and felt like everyone was looking at me like I was pretentious.

Hope they enjoyed the ride back in steerage.

Smart casual I’d say.

When I fly out of Lakefront I wear my suit. When I fly out of MSY I wear a sports coat with no tie.

I wear what gives me a chance to get out of the thing if it goes sideways. Jeans, closed toe shoe, long sleeve t. Folks in flip flops and pajamas weird me out.

I had to buy a tuxedo for a friend’s wedding.

A monocle and top hat were only $30 on Amazon.

Sometimes I’ll wear the tux just because. I never sit once at my gate. I just stand near the jet way entrance and sigh loudly while looking at my watch. Occasionally I’ll walk up slowly to the big board of arrivals and departures and make a show of patting around my pockets until I find the monocle and then peruse the board with an exaggerated frown nodding my head every once in a while.

Sometimes I’ll take my phone out my pocket, fake answer it, and say something in a fake British accent like “Listen here, Winifred, my plane is set to land at 2pm sharp. I expect dinner and the days paper awaiting me when I arrive home. No excuses. You may visit your mother once I am satisfied.”

I am not dressing up for what has been systematically turned into one of the most uncomfortable ways to travel over the last 50 years.

No, but my dress code for airport attire is close toed shoes and pants. Anyone wearing flip flops and shorts at the airport should go straight to jail.

No, but I dont dress like a slob either.

I may wear khakis and a jacket if I am flying on business.

The Jxn, MS to ATL flight may be worst of society, I can't imagine NOLA or BR being close.

I dress totally for comfort. I'm in a dirty, crowded airport for some of the time and I'm flying through the air in a tin can in a dirty uncomfortable seat for the rest of the time, no need for nice clothes.

With that said, of course there's a line. Wearing pajamas is just ridiculous.

I seldom wear shorts, never flip flops or sandals
Usually business casual or jeans
I look at others and wonder did they just get out of bed?

I don't. I'm usually in Nike pants, sneakers, and a t-shirt/hoodie. Comfort over people thinking I'm important.

I dress like I do most days, jeans and a shirt. T shirt if travel for pleasure, buttons and collars if working.

Do I dress up?

Are you lookin' at me, pal? Look at this! This is class! This is style! This is what a star looks like!

You think I’m gonna walk through an airport wearin' what? Pajamas? Like these bums I see? I see these people, they’re wearin' sweatpants... they got pillows strapped to their necks... they’re wearin' flip-flops! It’s disgusting! They look like they just escaped from a hospital!

When Tony Clifton travels, he travels in style. I wear the tux. I wear the velvet. I wear the shades. Why? Because the airport is a stage, sweetheart! The TSA agents? They’re my audience!

I don't "dress up." This isn't a costume. This is lifestyle. You show up in your little gym shorts, you sit in the back near the toilets. I show up in the tux, I sit up front with the champagne.

Now move it. You're blockin' the runway.
