In the golden age of air travel, you and I almost certainly couldn't have afforded a seat. Air travel back then cost a LOT of money. Fact is, we still can have comfort and room on a plane ... we just have to pay for it, as folks did in the '30s and '40s. Back then, the entire airplane was a "first class" section.Hemingway Jones said:

Hemingway Jones said:In regards to planes, I think that a part of the reason why everyone dresses down and so far down, is the way they are treated by the airlines. In the golden age of travel, you had comfort and room. Now, they are jamming as many seats in as possible. Flying is no longer considered glamorous. It is about as romantic as taking a city bus.
Now, that is not to say that I condone how people dress. There will always be those sheep who follow the fashion trends, and that is their right to do so, as it is anyone else's not to.
I travel dressed in what would be popularly considered as "business casual." I am usually in one of my signature blazers, because I don't want to have to change at the room before going out to dinner, or museum, our whatever else I have planned for when I land.
Also, I have learned that you get far more respect and can get much more accomplished, when you look respectable. If you want to upgrade a seat on a flight, you'll have a much better chance in a suit than in a sweat-suit. Believe me.
But, I think we should all be patient with those we disagree with, including how they dress. It is a fun topic for conversation here at the Lounge, but when I encounter them in public, I don't cast dispersions, and hope for the same courtesy, though it is rarely, if ever, reciprocated.
I dream of a world where everyone dresses appropriately, with respect for themselves and those that they are around. I don't want my eight year-old hypothetical daughter reading that woman's shirt and asking me what it means, or seeing someone's undergarments through the holes in their jeans. This is rude and offensive.
I rather wish this great land of rugged individuals would start expressing themselves as such. It’s this steady attrition to the least common standards that concerns me, as I stand astride the tracks of the Great Clattering Train of Progress with my palm extended yelling, “Stop!” over the great rattle of the cars, the couplings, and the falling pistons.
I think because he wears a blue blazer, he thinks he can get away with this kind of behavior HAHA, I'm just joking. You, 6'3 are a pleasure to travel with, just as long as you don't mind me resting my head on your shoulder if our first class bump doesn't happen.. Also, we are going during a non-peak time, hopefully that will make our trip up to first class a breeze. Better start planning my outfit and setting those pin-curls.
