Sleep Suits

[Decker]

On my last flight back from EWR a week or so ago I chose the large sleepsuit as they had previously been incorrectly sized previously and they were HUGE. Anyone else notice this?

Are you sure it wasn't a 'previously enjoyed' older style one (the labels on the newer ones are slighty different in layout). The old large ones ARE huge and fit Mr DL- the new ones don't.

Nope this was the new label style - hence my confusion. Just having my bi-annual sleep suit throw out. No clue why I bother keeping so many

Have you noticed that they attract fluff like no one's business? They get warmer every time you wash them by the amount of fluff on them!

At least it sounds like you were given a clean new one on my last flight from MCO on 1st December I was given one covered in stains!!!! The CC then gave me another one that had sticky white stuff on it!!!! The mind boggles..... The experience has put me off ever taking one again. I meant to write a report on that flight as the whole thing was a disaster including no amenity kits for UC.

There is no time limit in which a trip report has to be posted. Please let us know the details when you get time.

And this is something new [?] [:w]

Actually that kind of goes with the Going back to BA thread.

I have never kept one ... find it odd that people do unless you want to use them for painting or the like!

Well one good reason for keeping them is that it prevents the revolting practice of recycling them, without them being laundered.Yeuk.

I keep a couple as I'm not always flying in Upper. You do get odd looks from both crew and pax when they see you sat in Y or W with one on!!!

I have given up using them as they have become increasingly used over the last few years and I agree with the previous poster about the process of recycling being revolting.

That is a good point!

We noticed they have got smaller too, on our flight back from JFK earlier this month.
A medium is now a bit too small for me [:I]

Two words.... Fois Gras [:p]

All this is why I have stopped using them. Bring-Your-Own!

Yes, they sure do[V]

This may have influenced fellow V-flyers to take their own[:w]

Indeed.Not only are they recycled, it appears that some are just shoved back in bags (without a washing machine in sight). Several unfortunate v-flyers have had personal experience of suits that are ardorned with momentos of the previous occupants [:$] (me included).
Fellow v-flyers, join my campaign. Take them away. Please.

I certainly will take them away in future.

But to dump them, not to keep them. I'll also be dumping the ones I have already.

That is just pure disgusting [V]

BTW, do other ailrines do this too, or is it just VS ?

Same here. Builder's butt at the back, and no hiding the two peas and a chipolata at the front. Shocking.

I had a fag burn in mine a few weeks ago. And that is not a homophobic comment before anyone jumps in, matron.
