Would this be considered a faux pas?

Just a light-hearted query really........
Am soon off to SYD and back on the VS200/201 which of course stops off in HK to refuel.
This will be the longest journey I have yet done, only having gone as far as LAX and SFO before.
My 2 other travelling companions are convincing themselves that the flight to Oz is going to be a killer and that they absolutely need to get some kip on the flight, and that as we are having to slum it in PE (if only we were going UC ) we will need to change into something lighter to comfortably get some sleep.
The plan is to go to the toilets and change into our VS sleep suits so that we are not wearing the same clothes for 24 hrs!
My question is will we all be committing a terrible faux pas by being so attired in an economy cabin or won't anyone bat an eyelid ?
I suppose I could hold out for the dream of an Op Up but it isn't going to happen........ )

Sounds like a very sensible idea.

Not at all, make yourself comfortable for you flight. You wouldnt be the first V-Flyer to don a sleepsuit onboard when not travelling in UC.

You need to get something like these if you really want people to bat their eyelids

(could a nice mod please do the image thingy for me - I tried and it didn't like it)

I would just think you were being sensible y) .

Thanks for the prompt replies folks, looks like we won't be committing a huge gaffe then .

Think the sombre black sleep suits will be quite distinctive enough, we are all quite shy and retiring ........

Dont forget that you will be getting off the plane in Hong Kong, going through security and reboarding again about an hour and half or so later after the plane has been cleaned/refuelled.

You won't be committing a faux-pas at all - people do it quite a lot and no one pays any attention to them.

It's the stripping off and changing in the aisle that raises eyebrows! v(

Don't worry, the only type of IFE on offer will be available via the seat-back monitors, I can assure you .

As others have said, it's a non issue, I also use mine when flying other airlines.

Who knows, the FA may even pay more attention to you if they see that you've been in UC before

People take the sleep suits to use in the future?

Wow

I have been know to take an unopened sleep suit or two home... Kind of handy as jim jams during cold winters.

Yes it stops the disgusting practice of them being laundered and potentially being given to another (unsuspecting) passenger. Sometimes they're not even laundered as several v-flyers can testify too. Yeuk . :$

Yes

I gathers three - 2 I washed and gave to the BFs godsons to play being 'ninjas' in. The third I brought home, washed (I found crumbs and an old eye mask in the pocket) and passed it on to a charity shop
