Hi all. Going to be (hopefully) non-rev LH AMS-MUC-LAX in a couple on months. I’m reading conflicting info on dress code. Some non-rev sites say jeans are ok (not ripped, no holes etc) and some say jeans aren’t acceptable.
I’m planning on wearing fitted black jeans (no rips, holes, not faded as they are new) and a knitted jumper, skechers trainers, dark blue.
Can anyone advise on if LH would accept this within their dress code? Thanks.
Hmmm just thinking about a 13/14 hour flight in fitted jeans. :rolleyes: :cool:Quote:

haha, a small price to pay to get a shot on the A346 before it disappears from Europe. Thanks for asking, hope they can give me an answer.Quote:

many thanks for the info and advice. Will have to go shopping, as my only non-jean trousers I own are chino style or full blown suit/formal.Quote:

Hey sorry it's taken me a while to reply. Chinos are great - no need to go shopping. As far as jeans go, someone else posted they were acceptable. I usually list business so I go for a slack-y type of pants (Lululemon/Athleta travel pants type). MyIDTravel says smart casual and per google jeans are smart casual, so I think you'll be fine, especially with the other post confirming.Quote:

I’m going to risk jeans and smart, clean sneakers. Chinos means different shoes and I’m trying to go with just a small hand luggage so having two pair of shoes will hinder that.Quote:

I suppose non-rev dress codes have to move with the times and adjust with how flying is now, and what people wear.
Yeah you're right about that, there was a time people use to dress up to fly, there were multicourse meals served in coach and AA's fleet had a 747 Luxury Liner which had a coach lounge with a piano bar... and Revatron -no extra charge.Quote:

I wish I could have experienced the original Jumbos. They were such a marvel at the time. My earliest memory of flying was on AA from GLA-ORD back in 1992. We flew on their 767-200 Luxury Liner in Y and were served veal steak for dinner. I remember the paint scheme (old ‘bare’ aluminium) blew my mind.
Aluminum polished to a mirror finish- now it's carbon fiber and paint but I do like the new logo. :cool:Quote:
