Passenger Denied Airport Lounge Access Because of Ugg Boots & More

Highlights and headlines from around the web:

I didn’t realize that any airport lounges banned Uggs as part of their dress code, but this is kind of awesome. Kudos to the Qantas Fashion Police and to the airline for making it clear on their website (and not just an arbitrary agent decision). Of course if any of my favorite legit footwear was banned I probably wouldn’t be happy. Fortunately it looks like even my Tevas Cabrillos would make the cut.
