There are all kinds of features that contribute to a great business class experience. While I would hardly consider this to be the most important aspect of a business class flight, some airlines offer their passengers pajamas.

Last year I was on a LH flight where they handed us pyjama tops in business class. I did not expect that, I had my own overnight clothes on, so did not use theirs.
Yes they did (in Business Class) or maybe even still do.
But it's kind of pointless. If they only offer one of the top / bottom pieces, I'd much rather had a relaxing pants then a t-shirt (which I'm usually anyway wearing already)
@ Wingslover -- Good point, they do indeed offer the tops to pajamas, but not the bottoms. I updated the post to add that in the "other business class pajamas with limitations" section. Thanks!
Not pointless. It means your shirt is fresh when you get off the plane. Pants don't usually get sweaty anyhow.
I've never seen ANA or Japan Airlines cardigans. Nor would I want to. Both of them overheat their planes, so something to make you even hotter would be diabolical.
QF gives pjs on all medium and longhaul business class flights regardless of time of day (used to be redeyes only pre covid).
NH offers pjs in business but collect them before arrival (to wash and reuse I presume.
The tops were not offered in my Lufthansa flights in May and July 2025. I did not see them either on other passengers nor did I specifically ask for it. In the past, they had been offered proactively.
Starlux PJ's are so comfortable and high quality that I now have worn it daily for 1.5 years and not even a thread has come loose. I cannot even believe it. While QF is thin and delicate that I worry every minute it spends in the dryer.
Small incorrect detail:
I just flew ANA round trip ORD to Tokyo. Into Haneda out of Narita. New hard product going in, old going out. Both flights offered full pajamas if requested. This was in addition to cardigans. All had to be returned at end of flight.
Also neither flight was hot. In fact outgoing was downright cold.
It’s easy to criticize Delta for not offering pajamas in Delta One, especially when competitors like Qatar, Emirates, and even American Airlines include them on long-haul routes, but the omission is more deliberate than people think. Delta isn’t trying to mimic luxury for the sake of optics; it’s built its premium brand around consistency, substance, and what actually matters to its core flyers. With best in class bedding, curated dining, high-end amenity kits, and a service model designed for efficiency over excess, Delta caters to travelers who prioritize rest, reliability, and professionalism over novelty. Pajamas may photograph well, but Delta understands that most passengers would trade them for an on-time arrival, seamless connections, and a cabin crew that treats you like a human being rather than a photo op. That said, a limited-run Delta sleep set wouldn’t hurt, if only to quiet the cabin envy.
I flew Oman Air in April from Milan to Muscat. Did not know you had to request for the slippers and PJ. No one seated around me did not have it, apparently all line me did not know you had to request such. I was just glad I brought hotel slippers with me just in case.
Second this, although not sure if they are actually collecting them at the end of the flight. Neither instances, they came back to collect them when I changed out of the PJs before arrival
My wife kept the cardigan because she was cold. The FA’s never asked for it back.
Yeah. Probably correct. In my case the FA was right there when I exited after changing and just sort of offered to take them off my hands. I think in an effort to be helpful rather than enforcing some rule. With that said they do call them “rentals”.
@NickW, delta diamond, 2MMer here... if, in fact, Delta did all the things you describe, then maybe you'd have an argument. However, in the last year I've flown long haul in VS, BA, Qantas, AA, DL, AF, Saudia and a couple others. And, lets be clear, DL doesn't have better bedding. They don't have better "efficient, not excessive" catering and they don't have a better hard product -- but you didn't mention that so I guess you know that. I'm looking forward to my next trip now that they have FINALLY rolled out mattress pads. That should make a difference. But the reality is that the only DL has going for them is that their FAs are usually nicer than AA and BA and BA and VS still have some ancient seats. Otherwise, everyone beats them on bedding and meal service. And on time... not lately. Six of my last eight flights had multi-hour delays. Two had to be rerouted. One I went home and tried again the next day.
For the record I like getting pjs and the AA ones at the moment are particularly nice. I consider them to be an excellent perk as I'm going to change regardless and it's nice to have that provided by the airline. It DOES factor into my decision and I'm not the only one.
I do have to agree with @Bruguy. Either you work for Delta or you are he who shall not be named in disguise.
Just flew AA DFW-NRT this past week in Business and no pajamas offered or provided.
Why would you need a cardigan on JAL, if the - according to reports - the temperature of flights are always set to high...
I always wonder if you wear and leave them onboard do they wash and recycle? I appreciate the comfort but don't want to contribute to more waste from fast fashion.
So far have JAL F and EVA J Pj's. EVA J pjs are sooo comfy! Starlux J pjs coming next summer!
Totally agree the language is almost identical to “that” person - and if that is indeed the case the said person needs mental health assistance it’s been way too long
Pajamas are a worthwhile amenity for me. I get better sleep and arrive fresher when I have them.
I like the concept of pajamas on the plane, but there is no place to change your clothes with any level of privacy. The tiny bathroom with wet floors is definitely not conducive to stripping down. The only time I have actually worn the pajamas was on Qatar, where the QSuite provided enough privacy to make the quick change. For years, I just requested the smallest size available, and I took them home for my daughters. Same goes for the amenity kits. I don't need another bag full of crap, but the kids seem to enjoy them.
Would the pajamas on AA LAX-AkL first be same as I'd get in business? (The first is not a separate cabin per se but first 2 rows of business.)
