Flying can be tiring, but apparently not as tiring as seeing passengers in pajamas – at least according to one airport.
“We’ve seen enough. We’ve had enough. It’s time to ban pajamas at Tampa International Airport,” TPA posted on X on February 26, bragging about a previous Crocs ban and referring to wearing pajamas during the day as a “crisis.”
The post was a joke, the airport told USA TODAY: “Tampa International Airport regularly shares lighthearted, satirical content on social media as part of our ongoing efforts to engage with our followers. Today’s post about pajama ‘banning’ was another playful nod to travel day fashion debates. We encourage our passengers to travel in comfort and appreciate our loyal followers who enjoy the online humor.”
Traveler clothing has been a real talking point since the Department of Transport launched its new ‘Golden Age of Travel’ campaign last fall.
Among other suggestions, the DOT mentions “dressing with respect.” In a video shared by CNN, Transport Minister Sean Duffy explained: “I would encourage people to maybe dress a little better, which encourages us all to behave a little better. Let’s try not to wear slippers and pajamas when we come to the airport.”
