Passengers flying Spirit Airlines might need to conceal some tattoos or put on more clothing for their next flight, according to the airline’s updated contract for travelers.
As of January 22, Spirit has updated its contract of carriage, declaring passengers “shall not be permitted to board” or “may be required to leave an aircraft” if they are “barefoot or inadequately clothed, or whose clothing or article, including body art, is lewd, obscene, or offensive in nature.”
It also describes “inadequately clothed” as “see-through clothing, not adequately covered, exposed breasts, buttocks or other private parts.”
Fashion choices have long been a problem for air travelers, as many have been singled out and denied boarding, and in some cases, gone viral for their situations.
Spirit previously had banned barefoot passengers and clothing deemed “lewd, obscene or offensive in nature,” but specified further in its update to the contract.
In October, a woman named Tara Kehidi said she and a friend were asked by a Spirit flight attendant to leave because they were wearing crop tops. The situation has happened on other airlines, too.
In 2019, American Airlines apologized to Latisha “Tisha” Rowe after she said she was humiliated and told she couldn’t fly unless she covered up her strapless romper.
CNN has reached out to Spirit Airlines for further comment.
If you’re planning on flying with Spirit Airlines, make sure to cover up those offensive tattoos and leave the see-through clothing at home. The budget airline recently made headlines for kicking a passenger off a flight for having offensive tattoos and wearing revealing clothing.
While Spirit Airlines has not specified what exactly constitutes as offensive tattoos or see-through clothing, they have stated that they have the right to refuse service to anyone who does not meet their dress code standards.
So if you want to avoid being kicked off your next flight, be sure to check Spirit Airlines’ dress code policy before you board. And remember, when in doubt, it’s always better to play it safe and dress conservatively.
