Yes, you can generally wear pyjamas on a plane, provided they meet certain criteria.
Wearing comfortable clothing for travel, especially on long flights, is common, and this often includes pyjamas. It's quite simple to wear your pyjamas, your PJs, your jammies, or your jim-jams while flying.
However, the acceptability depends on the type of pyjamas you choose. According to one perspective, this comfort is fine "as long as it's not a single pair of silky boxer shorts or an oversized bed gown." This suggests that while a standard set of pyjamas is considered appropriate for air travel comfort, overly revealing or gown-like sleepwear might not be.
Based on this, here's a breakdown:
- Generally Acceptable (Standard Pyjamas):
- Full pyjama sets (matching top and bottom)
- Comfortable loungewear that resembles pyjamas
- Generally Not Included in This Acceptability (Based on Specific Exclusions):
- A single pair of silky boxer shorts worn alone
- An oversized bed gown
While most airlines don't have a strict dress code prohibiting standard pyjamas, they do reserve the right to refuse passage to passengers whose clothing is deemed offensive, overly revealing, or likely to cause disturbance. Standard pyjama sets typically do not fall into these restricted categories, allowing passengers to prioritize comfort during their flight. Choosing clean, modest pyjamas helps ensure a smooth boarding process.
