Spirit Airlines dress code: 'Offensive' tattoos and 'see-through clothing' can get you kicked off your next flight

Passengers traveling with Spirit Airlines may need to cover up certain tattoos or wear more clothing for their upcoming flights as per the airline’s revised guidelines for passengers.

Effective January 22, Spirit Airlines has made changes to its contract of carriage, stating that passengers will not be allowed to board or may be asked to leave the aircraft if they are not wearing adequate clothing or if their attire, including any body art, is deemed lewd, offensive, or obscene.

It also describes “inadequately clothed” as “see-through clothing, not adequately covered, exposed breasts, buttocks or other private parts.”

Issues related to fashion choices have been a persistent challenge for airline passengers, with many individuals facing discrimination and being refused boarding, sometimes leading to their experiences becoming viral on social media.

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.
