It struck me recently while I was in Dubai airport and filling in time between flights that my fellow travellers were – generally speaking – very well dressed. Things have changed, my friends, for the better.
The sartorial style of the air traveller was once a very mixed bag, a hodgepodge of track suits and rubber thongs and grungy backpacks and tapestry suitcases held together by belts at one end of the plane, navy blazers and a Sportscraft pull-on pant at the other.
