If you intended to use the business lounges before the flight check what they accept as some will not allow shorts or football tops
Quite right. Unless you're actually playing football there is no need to be wearing a football top.

You should be attired appropriate to your line of business.

There should be a total ban prohibiting anybody from wearing a football top! smile

I was just pricing up a few flights and came upon the FAQ section of BA's website. Apparently this is their ideal:-

Ah yes - let's not confuse "I've paid for business class, what should I wear?" with "I'm looking for a free bump up, what should I wear?" hehe
You're mistaken. That look is " I'm a completely retarded attention seeking bellend desperately trying to stand out but just looking like a tt"
Tell us how you really feel!

In my experience, the smarter you dress, the less likely you are to be heading to business class. The majority of people travelling on business are in the back of the plane for long-haul flights. Business is full of wealthy families and people who have status with the airline.

hehe I turned up for my flight in first from Tanzania to Heathrow via Dubai in December wearing jeans that had seen better days, converses that had barely survived the 12 months in Africa and a death metal t-shirt. My fellow passengers in seats 1D and 1F were not best amused. I simply pushed the button to close the shutters to my suite and got on with drinking my Mojito.

I'm flying back Upper Class today from Dubai and shall be wearing shorts and a t-shirt.

Not sure the staff looking after me on Virgin give a toss what I wear to be honest.

Even if not playing polo. You see, Polo has a certain air of class about it and the shirts are smart and tidy.

Where as Football is a game for the hard of thinking. Where the players rape drunk girls and the fans fight amongst each other whether their team won or lost, drink st lager from plastic cups and eat nasty pies at half time.
The shirts are made from shiny plastic, garish colours and covered in "UMBRO" and some Foreigners name in large font on the reverse side.

No. I was being cutting for mild comedic effect.

It's cool to travel like Wayne or Garth, or Beavis or Butthead.

You rang? I always dress like a H0b0.
Due to a ticketing error, an airline I flew with had given out 2 tickets for the same first class seat. I was dressed as a comfy 23 year old and the other man was in a smart suit. They sat him down and asked me to wait in the staff area until they could find me a seat in economy. They never asked the chap in my seat if he paid. So, I did and he immediately admitted that he paid for economy.

Never judge a h0b0 by his outfit.......
