Let’s face it, flying is rarely a pleasant experience unless you are lucky enough to be stretched out in business class.
Between the expensive snacks, cramped seating, stale cabin air, and the unsettling realization that you are cruising 30,000 feet above the ground inside a metal tube, comfort tends to be in short supply.
Now, budget airline Ryanair, which operates low-cost flights across Europe, has added a new talking point for passengers.
The airline is well known for its bold and often sarcastic social media style, leaning into its reputation as cheap, blunt, and unapologetic in how it speaks to customers.
It wrote: “It’s 2026, let’s stop travelling in jeans.”
A caption on the clip added: “Please,” along with a praying hands emoji, as if begging viewers to agree.
The airline’s social media team responded with a short reply: “What’s right with them?”
One viewer joked: “Ok I’ll fly in my 18th century historically accurate outfit.”
Another took aim at Ryanair’s long-standing reputation for add-on fees, writing: “Are you gonna charge for wearing jeans now?”
However, some users admitted they actually agreed with the airline’s stance on denim.
One person wrote: “Prolly the least comfortable thing to wear while flying.”
