Many people like to wear UGG boots, but don`t expect Qantas to give you "preferential treatment," Australian News reported. Even British pop singer Joana Cassel (Joanne Catherall) was denied access to Qantas`s business-class terminal at Melbourne airport for wearing UGG,. The reason is that Joana is wearing UGG boots that do not fit the Qantas waiting dress code and are too casual.
Joana wrote on Twitter: "when Qantas refused to enter the business class terminal at Melbourne Airport, it was clear that the staff believed that the UGG boots were in pajamas. But so far there has never been a problem in any other terminal. Fortunately, the staff advised me to go to the store and buy some shoes. "
Subsequently, Qantas responded that "We strive to implement and adhere to our guide to all customers in the waiting room", along with a guide for the waiting room. According to the guide, pajamas wear "including UGG boots and slippers" and are "too casual or inappropriate."
In order to ensure that you enjoy a comfortable experience after entering our Qantas Club and Business Terminal, we require you to adhere to our semi-formal business casual dress guide, according to the Qantas domestic flight waiting room wearing guide: "to ensure that you enjoy a comfortable experience after entering our Qantas Club and Business Terminal."
If part of your dress is too casual or inappropriate, our team will deny you entry. These items include, but are not limited to:
- Flip-flops or bare feet
- Head-to-toe gym suit
- Beach suits (including surfing shorts)
- Pajamas (including UGG boots and slippers)
- Clothes with offensive patterns and slogans
- Exposed, unclean, or worn-out clothes.
- Clean, highly reflective clothes or other uniforms can be worn in.
However, the incident also caused many netizens to complain that the Qantas dress guide is very "stupid." Some netizens said on Twitter: "I`m sorry, Qantas is a complete snob." I always travel in UGG because they are very comfortable and I have never been denied entry into the boarding room in the United States, Europe and Britain. "
Another netizen said: "Why are they regarded as` pajamas`, you will not wear UGG in bed!"
