Tampa International Airport sent the internet into a spin Thursday after posting on X that it was officially banning passengers from wearing pyjamas, only to clarify hours later that the whole thing was a prank.
The airport's official account declared it had "seen enough" of pyjamas after going "Crocs-free," boldly announcing, "The madness stops today. The movement starts now." The post racked up a staggering 5.7 million views by mid-afternoon Eastern time, igniting a fierce online debate about airport dress codes.
The airport later confirmed the post was intended as humour, calling it "a playful nod to day-of-travel fashion debates."
