Spirit Airlines Introduces New Dress Code Policy, Bans Revealing Clothing and Offending Tattoos
Spirit Airlines has introduced a new dress code policy, which bans passengers from wearing “revealing” clothing, exposing private parts, or displaying “lewd, obscene, or offensive” body art. The policy, which took effect on Wednesday, is a result of the airline’s updated Contract of Carriage, which passengers must agree to when booking their tickets.
The new policy was prompted by a recent incident in October, in which two female passengers were removed from a flight for wearing crop tops. The women, who spoke to the Daily Mail, accused the airline of sexism, stating that they were “humiliated” and treated like “criminals” for their attire.
According to the airline’s new policy, passengers will not be allowed to wear see-through outfits, expose private parts, or display body art that is deemed offensive. The policy is designed to ensure that all passengers are comfortable and respectful of fellow travelers.
It remains unclear whether the October incident was the direct cause of the new policy, as the airline has not issued any official comment on the matter. However, the incident has sparked widespread attention and debate, with many questioning the appropriateness of the airline’s actions.
