Spirit Airlines does not allow passengers with inappropriate clothing, tattoos to fly

Spirit Airlines has updated its policy to include a stricter dress code for passengers.

The update, which came into force on January 22, says a passenger can be denied boarding or removed from a plane because of their clothing or offensive tattoos.

The additions to the contract now specify that passengers who are inadequately dressed, such as wearing transparent clothing exposing breasts, buttocks or other private parts are subject to grounding.

The contract also makes it clear that passengers must not be barefoot, which is also a policy for other airlines. Another addition to Spirit’s policy, the appearance of offensive tattoos, is not a common cause of removal.

The new policy comes after clothing violations allegedly caused problems for some Spirit passengers.

Last October, two women were removed to carry Crop Tops on the airline. Last week a man came from Texas was removed from a Spirit flight to wear what was considered an offensive hoodie. The passenger eventually removed the clothes but was still escorted from the plane.
