Kevin Pietersen has let fly at Qantas over their refusal to let him into their lounge because of his footwear.
The former England cricketer, who happened to be wearing thongs at the time - footwear he described as "an institution in this great country" - was upset at being denied entry, seemingly because he hadn't been told of the policy before flying with the airline.
The batsman, who will be playing with the Melbourne Stars in the Big Bash League, took to Twitter to vent his outrage at the "muppets".
The cricketer is not the first celebrity to fall foul of the new Qantas rules this year. In October, singer Kate Ceberano was pulled up for the same reason.

"Disappointed to be evicted from the Qantas Lounge after being a member since 1990 for wearing 'inappropriate footwear'? hahaha (new rules)," Ceberano had posted on Facebook.
"We completely understand that being declined at the door isn't a great experience, so this is a good opportunity to remind those wanting to use our capital city lounges of the dress code that applies," a Qantas spokesman told Fairfax Media at the time.
"We've always had smart casual dress standards for our lounges, which are similar for those in place for most clubs and restaurants. Over the past year or so, we had clear feedback from lounge members that they wanted these existing guidelines to be applied more rigorously.
"We reached out to members earlier this year to remind them of the dress standards and had a grace period up until April this year."
Pietersen apparently cooled down shortly after his social media outburst - enough to share his love for the land Down Under, at least.
