Your Airport Outfit & Tattoos Could Prevent You From Flying With This Airline
Remember when your parents always told you to dress nicer for the airport? Well, they might have been right all along…
Spirit Airlines recently updated their contract of carriage, which defines the airline’s legal responsibilities of passengers and the carrier. Outlined in the contract, among the expected (ie. not permitting disorderly or violent passengers, those that are heavily intoxicated, or pose as a security threat, etc.) is a crackdown on passengers’ wardrobe and tattoos.
According to the contract, passengers might be asked to leave the aircraft or be denied boarding if their clothing is see-through, “not adequately” [covering] certain parts of the body, or they have “lewd” or “obscene” tattoos.
A video went viral last year on TikTok after a young woman and her friend were asked to deboard a Spirit flight for wearing a cropped top. The incident occurred in October 2024..
Though the restrictions around appropriate dress has been around for quite some time, people were outraged with that passenger’s experience. One angered user even commenting “I hope spirit fires all of these people because we will NEVER be flying with them because of all this.”
Moreover, Spirit’s contract of carriage states that “If a guest is not permitted to board and/or required to leave an aircraft for safety and/or regulatory reasons under paragraph 4.3 and its sub sections, the guest will not be eligible for a refund.”
