First came Crocs. Is Tampa's airport now banning pajamas, too? [View all]

No more slippers or sweatpants in the terminal, the Tampa International Airport said in a social media post this week.

For Tampa Bay locals familiar with the airport’s often-satirical social media, the post announcing a ban on sleepwear was no surprise. But the message, which urged passengers to “help Tampa International Airport become the world’s first Crocs-free AND pajama-free airport,” quickly drew national attention.

“Today’s post about ‘banning’ pajamas was another playful nod to day-of-travel fashion debates,” read a statement that the airport’s communications team said it sent to roughly 20 national and international media outlets on Thursday. “We encourage our passengers to travel comfortably and appreciate our loyal followers who enjoy the online humor.”
