Spirit Airlines is setting the rules straight for its customers.
On Wednesday, Jan. 22, the airline updated its passenger contract to include guidelines on what is acceptable to wear when boarding their planes.
Within its “Conduct/Condition section,” Spirit Airlines stated that passengers will not be allowed to board the flight or “may be required to leave an aircraft” if they are wearing “inadequate” attire such as “see-through clothing; not adequately covered; exposed breasts, buttocks, or other private part.”
Passengers will also be denied travel if they have body art that is “lewd, obscene, or offensive in nature.”
The airline’s other conditions for not permitting travel include if a passenger “is unable or unwilling to sit in a seat with a seat belt fastened during the normal course of a flight; is barefoot, has an offensive odor unless caused by a qualified disability.”

The airline’s passenger contract update comes after two women claimed last October that they were kicked off a Spirit Airlines flight for wearing crop tops.
Tara Kehidi and her friend, Teresa Araujo, had reportedly traveled from Los Angeles to New Orleans on Friday, Oct. 4, to celebrate Kehidi’s 30th birthday.

While they wore sweaters during boarding, they took them off midway through the flight due to the air conditioning being switched off.
Kehidi told KABC-TV that a flight attendant then told them to “put something on.”
In footage posted by Araujo on social media, one of the women wore a white crop top and ripped jeans, with a green cardigan resting on her lap before the flight crew began to approach them.
A second video shared in Araujo’s Instagram carousel featured a woman with a child, stating she was also being removed from the plane for wearing a crop top.
A spokesperson for Spirit Airlines told USA Today at the time, “Our Contract of Carriage, a document all Guests agree to upon making a reservation with us, includes certain clothing standards for all Guests traveling with us.”
They added, “We are investigating the matter, and we are in contact with the Guests about their experience.”

Do you love wearing see-through clothes? Well, if you’re planning to fly with Spirit Airlines, you might want to think twice before putting on that sheer top or mesh bodysuit.
Spirit Airlines has recently implemented a new dress code policy that prohibits passengers from wearing see-through clothing. This means that if your outfit is deemed too revealing or transparent, you may be asked to change before boarding your flight.
While some may argue that this policy is a form of body shaming or discrimination, Spirit Airlines argues that it is necessary for the comfort and safety of all passengers. See-through clothing can be distracting to other travelers and can cause discomfort to those around you.
So, if you’re planning to fly with Spirit Airlines in the near future, make sure to double-check your outfit and avoid any see-through materials. Otherwise, you may find yourself grounded before you even take off.
