TV writer sparks FURIOUS plane debate after slamming controversial flight habit - so what do you think?

TV writer and author Gary Janetti has sparked a furious debate after he shared that he absolutely hates when people wear sweatpants on the plane - joking that it makes people look like they're under the weather with the flu.

Janetti, who has gone viral on Instagram for his hilarious memes about the royal family, gave his opinions during a recent appearance on ABC News with anchor Linsey Davis while promoting his new book, We Are Experiencing a Slight Delay. 

'It looks like at the airport, too many people are on day five of the flu, like they've been in bed for a week,' Janetti said during the television appearance. 

'How comfortable do you have to be to get on a three-hour flight?' he continued, while totally rejecting the idea of wearing sweatpants on the plane.

He cracked that you could at least put on a shirt or pair of pants that buttons.

However, the Start Without Me author admitted that there was one exception to his  no-sweatpants rule - and that's an overnight flight. 

'I feel like you could put sweatpants on if you're going to bed on the plane or something like that,' he said.

Though, hilariously enough, Davis herself told Janetti during the interview that she was someone who wore casualwear on the plane.

'That's so me,' she admitted during the interview.

And the anchor is not the only one. 

Janetti's comments, which were posted in a clip on TikTok, set off a wild debate in the comments section - with some standing by their comfy airport wear, and others believing it was a cardinal sin.

'I need to be comfortable on a flight & ppl (people) need to mind their own business,' one person touted.

Another agreed, 'He can tell me what to wear when he pays for my flights.'

'On a 13 hrs flight. Best believe I'm going to be in sweatpants, hoodie, neck pillow, headphones, and flip flops,' someone else wrote.

One user even pointed out, 'It's not the 3 hr flight it's the 12-24 hour delays sleeping at the airport people are prepared for.'

'Airplane are so uncomfortable I'm dressing comfortable,' a TikTok user quipped.

Others fell on the other side of the debate, in line with Janetti.

'I'm with him. I find it tacky when people fly in sweats or pajamas,' one user wrote.

Another seconded, 'Completely agree with him. It's not your bed.'

'People have no class anymore,' a commenter lamented.

Someone else shared, 'A decent two piece set is as easy to wear as sweats. It's ok to look put together.'

But this isn't the first time that this can of worms has been opened, as travel etiquette has become a hot topic in recent years.

This month, a plane passenger reignited the debate about what to do when you find a fellow flyer in your assigned seat.

And, in March, another expert sounded the alarm about an increasingly commonplace faux pas that he said was ripping apart 'the fabric of society.'
