International airport sparks huge debate as it ‘bans’ crocs and pajamas in ‘world first’ move

One airport has seen a wave of backlash from online users after it banned pajamas and crocks for the first time ever.

Say goodbye to comfortable travel-wear, as your slob days are over!

No more can passengers roll up to security wearing robes, crocks with fluffy socks, and a mismatched set of PJs.

That’s because this international airport has put a stop to it – and even announced it via social media.

The Tampa International Airport said enough is ‘enough’, calling it ‘madness’ and telling its passengers that daring to dress in sleepwear ‘stops today’.

The post reads: “We’ve seen enough. We’ve had enough. It’s time to ban pajamas at the Tampa International Airport.

“Pajamas. At. The. Airport. In the middle of the day.”

The PJ ban is a separate ban from crocs, which happened recently, leading to the airport boasting about being the ‘world’s first Crocs-free airport’.

It claimed in its post: “After successfully banning Crocs and giving everyone the amazing opportunity to experience the world’s first Crocs-free airport, it’s time to take on an even larger crisis.”

Well, some people have had a lot to say about this ‘crisis’, with one X user writing online: “I mean…as a joke, this is kinda funny. But if it’s real…the government telling people what they can and can’t wear while traveling…can you say ‘overreach’ anyone?”

Another said: “Make air travel less miserable before you ask people to be less comfortable.”

Someone else chimed in: “Flying from JFK to Tampa in pajamas and crocs tomorrow out of pure spite.”

However, many were all for it.

A user wrote: “uh yeah, I’ve been saying this forever.”

Someone else said: “My last two flights I spent the night on the dirty floor at Buffalo Intl Airport because of cancelled flights, with no compensation, we should be wearing pajamas, until the airlines crap service is improved!”

“This is great, I am completely for this. Just dress decently. But I think we shouldn’t stop here, I think the airlines should start bringing the pleasure of traveling back to what it used to be. Like bring back actually feeding your travelers. Not even peanuts are given nowadays,” another said.

According to some commenters, as well as other posts by the Tampa location, a lot of what they post is satirical, so you might be able to get away with wearing your Crocs and pajamas through security.

While it may have all been a joke, it’s not uncommon for airlines to impose dress rules of its own.

For example, last year, Spirit Airlines stated that passengers who are ‘barefoot or inadequately clothed’ could be turned away or removed from the jet.

Its guidelines list things like ‘see-through clothing; [being] not adequately covered; exposed breasts, buttocks, or other private partes’ as being unacceptable.
