KP, who was on his way to Australia to play for the Melbourne Stars in this year’s Big Bash League, described the airline as “Muppets” for their stance on the ultra-Australian footwear option.

He took to Twitter to express his frustration, tweeting: 'I suggest you tell Platinum, First Class fliers that they not allowed in your lounges with flip flops before they fly, @Qantas! Muppets!'

'Thongs are an institution in this great country! GET A GRIP! Tired, jet lagged & just wanted to chill! #Muppets.'
