I can almost guarantee that I'm the only one excited about this. Everyone is all up in arms about it, but I don't understand why.
On the one hand, it is a little silly for United Airlines to have that kind of a dress code; they're just not that swanky. But I don't think that the general idea that you need to dress well to be treated well is that unreasonable.
If you were a flight attendent on this flight, would you want to give first-class, luxury service to this goof in a track suit? Probably not.
Sadly, this whole fiasco was a fluke. The airline employee at the gate thought that this man was a fellow employee who was required to dress nicely to ride first class.
Hopefully, this inspires some luxury service businesses to expect a little more from their customers.
If you learn nothing else from this, please learn that it's never socially acceptable to wear a track suit outside of the gym.

Interesting story about first class. This is not the case on all airlines but it is something to know. I came back on a redeye from ny and was given a complimentary upgrade before... maybe it was my suit?
