So I'm at the airport waiting to fly out to Seattle. The incoming flight is debarking and I just watched a family with three kids walk by in shorts, sandals and NO COAT on! I hope they have something packed in their suitcase because it's kinda cold outside. lol

I wouldn't think twice about that. Maybe they checked them? But I'm still annoyed by a man asking me where my coat was yesterday during my 20 second walk back to my car.
Another one who wouldn't think twice about it. Seattle has nonstop flights to Hawaii (and they're pretty cheap right now too), so that's where I'd assume they're going.

They're either locals who don't want their vacation to end one minute early or stupid vacationers. (ETA: Okay, that sounds kinda bitchy. Sorry people with no coats on.)

That makes me nervous! I cringe when I see people running in and out the gym with nothing but shorts on in this temp. What if your car breaks down? Sure this is surburbia and you probably won't have to walk more than a block to get to somewhere warm, but a block in winter in shorts would be horrible!
When DH went to the BVIs many years ago, he took no coat with him. When he got home, it was snowing. But I met him at the airport and had a coat for him.
SO- maybe whoever was meeting them (if anyone) had coats for them. Or they're packed. Or they are just going to wing it!
We leave our coats in the car in these situations.
We did this a few weeks ago. Flew to Orlando for a night, so only had small carry ons. My dad had our coats in the car waiting for us (he was picking us up). That walk to the car was cold in 8 degree weather though!

When I was in elementary school a family moved to my town in NJ from Alaska. They all wore shorts year round. 15 degrees and snowing and they'd be at the bus stop in shorts with no coat. So maybe these people were coming to Alaska from Antarctica and this is warm for them.
I was walking down Walnut and I swear that I thought the wind was going to blow me over.
I was waiting for the bus this morning with another woman and she had a dress/skirt on with no leggings or anything! Of course our bus was late (thanks, SEPTA) and I watched as her legs turned red.

Oh, honey, no. The current real feel is 8. Wear fleece lined tights!

I was in Anchorage. They flew into Anchorage. No direct flights from Anchorage to Hawaii. Not that I'm aware of anyway.
