00:00Travelers wear pajamas to the airport to protest request.

00:04In a 2025 twist, people wear pajamas to the airport,

00:08turning flannel into protest as pajama pants become the new picket signs.

00:12It started when Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy, at a pre-Thanksgiving briefing,

00:17urged travelers to wear jeans and a shirt with buttons.

00:20Not a law, not a mandate, just a suggestion.

00:23But maybe lose the Garfield pajama pants at TSA still sparked a national controversy.

00:28Enter Kat Sullivan, a Los Angeles-based TV producer, who answered with malicious compliance.

00:35I never bail on a bit, she posted after striding in an old Hollywood-style gown across a snowy Wyoming

00:40tarmac, calling the look insane, impractical, and a rebuttal to Duffy's insane directive that was

00:46only a suggestion. Backlash went full red plaid as the hashtag pajama resistance trended on TikTok

00:53and Instagram, and Democratic activist Johnny Palmedesa posted in airport PJs,

00:58accusing Duffy and President Trump of misplaced priorities.

01:02Others cited high airfare, lost luggage, delays, and shrinking legroom,

01:06saying the government should fix that, not police their legs.

01:10One traveler swore by pajama pants, a T-shirt, and compression socks.

01:15Another flipped a coin, and pajamas won.

01:17Not everyone protested, some dressed up, treating Duffy's suggestion like a throwback challenge.

01:24An editorial in the New York Post praised the push and decried sloppiness in public spaces,

01:29especially airports now heavy on bathrobes over briefcases.

01:33For many, dressing up feels like a bridge too far because flying today doesn't match the golden age

01:38Duffy cited.

01:39I should wear my nicest suit so I can sit in someone else's Biscoff crumbs,

01:44one comedian quipped, pointing to delays, high costs, and stripped-down service.

01:50Even aviation journalists joined in.

01:52Benet J. Wilson wore pajamas and tagged Duffy after her third delay,

01:56joking the comfy outfit might become her new travel uniform.

02:00Duffy has not issued follow-up comments, and the White House has not weighed in.

02:05Yet the debate keeps rolling not because of any rule or regulation.

02:09But a suggestion that maybe we could bring some class back to the boarding gate.

02:12And for now, airports are full of flannel, feathers, and more opinions than carry-ons.
