Woman’s Footwear Gets Her Denied From Airport Lounge—And, Well, Choices

Many people believe how you dress everyday sends a message about who you are as a person. If I left the house in sweatpants every singe day, people would immediately assume I’m lazy. But, I may just work from home on my multi-billion dollar app idea and no one knows. It’s all a matter or perception. Apparently, though, some places really judge you pretty harshly on how you’re dressed, like an airport lounge. I’ve heard of places not allowing customers in when they’re dressed poorly (you know, no shoes, no shirt, no service), but, over Uggs? That’s a bit much. One woman shared the horror story on her Twitter account after trying to enter an airport lounge in Melbourne. Vocalist Joanne Catherall, from The Human League, was told she could not go into the frequent-flyer lounge for the company Qantas because she was wearing Ugg boots. Seeing as she was in Melbourne, it’s a bit ironic (Uggs are from Australia, y’all).

The company responded by saying they do have a drsesscode for their lounges and Joanne can view them online. Seems like a half-ass apology if you ask me.

I’m not a fan of Uggs, but I am a fan of traveling comfortably. No one wants to wear high heals or anything fancy on a plane when you’ll be sitting in a tiny seat and have little-to-no legroom. Come on now, think people. Joanne did read through the rules and wondered why Ugg boots were considered “sleepwear” and not “outdoor wear.”

Their response?

Ouch. Pretty much shut-down. I’m definitely not flying with Qantas anytime soon, they seem too much of snobs for me to spend my hard-earned money flying with them. And, Twitter agreed.
