Pass Travel Dress Code

Subscribe
Historically on the LUAL side you could not ride in first class wearing jeans, shorts, t-shirts or tennis shoes. In fact once upon a time you had to dress in your church clothes to ride up front. I was riding in first class on a 767-400(NICE BTW) from HNL-EWR last week. There was a family of 4 pass travelers riding first class and all were wearing the clothes described above. They all looked like they came straight from the beach to the plane. Was that considered acceptable at LCAL before and is it acceptable now at the new U?

these guidelines are not intended to be all-inclusive, but rather should help set the general parameters for appropriate attire. Pass riders should use good judgment and common sense about items not specifically addressed. if you are uncertain about what is acceptable attire for pass travel, please ask your supervisor or your human resources partner.

Obviously depends on where I'm going. But I get in first quite a bit. Probably 25%. Family of 4! Lucky, lucky, lucky. Good deal for them.
