First Class dress code?

[Tara]

Now, if someone can just tell me how I can get to Germany next week without flying 'international' I would be happy to share that secret with crashbb and any other non-American posters who by default of not living in America fall into the 'international' category. We haven't quite perfected the teleportation device.

Pssst, bavaria, I can tell you, but I will require payment for the secret, up front, and in chocolate.

That list just keeps getting longer and longer! No wonder BWV Dreamin' was scrambling not to be bumped off of it.... But if you read my post I am trying to get TO Germany; thus by default I am in possession of a very limited supply of the good stuff at the moment. However I can assure you that I am definitely going on a restocking run, even if only there for a day!

U.S. clubs are mainly filled with domestic business travelers who pay a membership and have access regardless of if they are flying coach or first.

International clubs are mainly filled with long-haul passengers spending upwards of $4,000 to $12,000 on a ticket.

Furthermore, both American Airlines and United Airlines operate two tiers of clubs. Their higher tier clubs for long-haul travelers in First feature amenities akin to foreign clubs, and you cannot buy a membership to join.

It actually does make sense. Perfect sense.

Hate to break it to you but even on dirt cheap fares you can access international clubs as long as you have some status. If you are flying domestically in a foreign country you can still usually get lounge access on cheap tickets as long as you have status. These lounges are far superior to US lounges.

In the US even if you were flying on a $2,500 domestic First Class ticket in most cases you would NOT get lounge access.

Agreed US and AA offer decent international first class clubs. Difference is they are on par with many overseas clubs you can access on an economy ticket with status.

Obviously you didn't see the point, but she was denied boarding for a flight.

I read the article you posted, and she was allowed on the flight.

Tell that to Kyla Ebbert, who was escorted off a Southwest Airlines flight two months ago for wearing an outfit far less revealing than a bikini top.

Ebbert, a Mesa College student and Hooters waitress, was allowed to stay on the plane, but only after she put up a fight and, she says, was lectured on how to dress properly.

Going to close this one down before it gets any more contentious!
