Title: Removal from Spirit Airlines Flights Due to Controversial Tattoos and Revealing Clothing
Revised Base Article:
Spirit Airlines has made a change to their travel guidelines, stating that passengers may be denied boarding or asked to depart if they're dressed in a manner deemed inappropriate. This includes being barefoot, poorly clothed, or sporting attire that's lewd, vulgar, or offensive. They've also clarified what they consider "inadequate clothing," such as see-through garments that expose private areas and clothing with exposed breasts, buttocks, or other intimate parts.
Fashion choices have consistently been a source of controversy for air travelers. Many have faced unwanted attention and been denied boarding due to their attire. Last year, one woman, Tara Kehidi, was asked to leave a Spirit Airlines flight for wearing a crop top, an issue that's not exclusive to Spirit.
In 2019, another passenger, Latisha "Tisha" Rowe, faced humiliation when American Airlines told her she needed to cover up her strapless romper to fly.
Spirit Airlines has yet to provide further comments on this matter.
