IN BRIEF | Delta is the latest of the American airlines to seemingly discover the joys of business class pyjamas, with the Virgin Australia partner now offering what it terms 'in-flight loungewear' to passengers in its Delta One class on flights between Los Angeles and Sydney.

The light grey cotton kit will also appear on all Delta flights between the US and China (Beijing, Hong Kong and Shanghai) from March 2016.

American Airlines will also hand out business class PJs on its new flight between Sydney and Los Angeles – a creature comfort previously reserved for the airline's first class travellers...

... while United Airlines is also likely to add 'sleep suits' to its international business class, ahead of the debut of new business class seats on the airline's forthcoming Boeing 777-300ER jets from late 2016.
