Hi Decker,
So would the small be suitable for a (not huge) 16 year old and an 11 year old?

Well Mrs D wears a small and she's 5'2". So might swamp the 11 year old. Funnily I just threw 10 sets of M out at the weekend to try and reclaim some draw space.

Now Decker you're not trying to brag a little now are you [V]
Should be ok for 16 year old then, can just fold sleeves and legs up for 11 year old. Thanks

Oh no![:0]
I got a small one for my wee jaunt to Jamaica last December (and if you didnt know i am 5ft flipping 1in)[:#] and now because i wear them round the house alot and wash them they have gone all fuzzy.
Gill, the small should be fine to be honest.Your youngest may have to roll the bottoms but the waist is the pull cord to tighten.She will become a honored ninja warrior!:D

Yes they do go all fuzzy - Maybe we should campaign for pure cashmere ninja suits but lets be honest they do the job and do it fine - Yes by simply rolling the suits up your kids will be as "snug as a bug"

Kids will be well pleased as they thought they probably wouldn't get one.[y]

Gill there tend to be limited numbers available on outbound flights so best to ask early if you want to get them - also on the inbound, VS have been known to run out.

As soon as you board the aircraft Gill ask them nicely could you have a couple of sleepsuits for the wee ones, they normally obliged.
Have fun on the flight!

I've said this before. I'll say it again. Second-hand/pre-worn, polyester pyjamas? Eugh...!

Oh god, How stupid am I, I just presumed that they were all new as I thought people generally took sleepsuits with them.
Also, didn't realise you could ask for them on a day flight.

Gill,
I was on a day flight and all the UC cabin (not me of course) had the blinds put down and went to sleep!
I also presumed they were all new and took mine home (well it smelled clean!)

Oh well, as long as ther're clean and smell nice, I shall chance one. [:o)]

I didn't much mind if the sleepsuits have been worn already, as long as they have been properly cleaned and laundered between uses.
You don't expect brand-new bedsheets or new towels in the bathroom when you check into a hotel, do you?
Also, they bobble up really easily, so I don't think their lifetime can be that long - a few months at the most.
Now I don't mind at all, as I don't wear the sleepsuits, because they are too hot and sweaty. I usually bring my own tee-shirt and shorts to sleep in.

Hi Gill
I flew on VS003 last week and got a sleep suit. I asked for it once the CC member returned with my pre-flight drink and managed to change into it before take off.
I would recommend the sleep suit as it's good for collecting food that has missed your mouth, which seems to happen to me quite a lot!;)
Have a great flight.

Almost sent my food flying when I tried to get back into my suite with the table still down last month returning from LAX - I never did manage to figure how I got out[:I]

Well actually an FA did ask if I needed any help...at that point I was clutching my plate, cutlery and table trying to lift it up having got halfway through the gap and then finding myself unable to go any further[:I]
