Overview
- In a TikTok video showing a Ryanair jet landing, likely in Corfu, on-screen text read, “It’s 2026, let’s stop travelling in jeans,” over the carrier’s familiar post‑flight jingle.
- Responding to a commenter asking what is wrong with jeans, the airline replied, “what’s right with them?”.
- Viewers were split, with some endorsing leggings or other comfortable clothes for long periods of sitting and others insisting jeans are fine for short hops.
- Several passengers said they wear jeans to manage limited baggage space and avoid paying extra fees for checked luggage on budget flights.
- Coverage across UK regional outlets framed the post as brand engagement rather than a dress code, with one cited physician noting that tight garments can hinder circulation during extended sitting.
