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 Feb. 26, while boasting about a previous ban on Crocs and referring to mid-day pajama-wearing as a “crisis.”
The post was joke, as the airport told USA TODAY: “Tampa International Airport regularly shares lighthearted, satirical social media content as part of our ongoing effort to engage with our followers. Today’s post about ‘banning’ pajamas was another playful nod to day-of-travel fashion debates. We encourage our passengers to travel comfortably and appreciate our loyal followers who enjoy the online humor.”
Traveler attire has been real topic of conversation since the Department of Transportation kicked off its new “Golden Age of Travel” campaign last fall.
Among other suggestions, the DOT lists “dressing with respect.” In a video shared by CNN, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy elaborated, “I would encourage people to maybe dress a little better, which encourages us to maybe behave all a littler better. Let’s try not to wear slippers and pajamas as we come to the airport.”
