From shorts to body odor: The the airline dress code violations that’ll get you kicked off a plane

Air travel has certainly changed over time, and an occasion that once mandated dressing smartly has become considerably more casual. 

Recently, Spirit Airlines issued a new dress code for its flight passengers, after several news-making instances regarding customers being removed from flights due to their attire.

Now, customers on Spirit Airlines are subject to being removed from flights if they are “barefoot or inadequately clothed (i.e., see-through clothing; not adequately covered; exposed breasts, buttocks, or other private parts), or whose clothing or article, including body art, is lewd, obscene or offensive in nature.” 

Here are some other rules that airlines have regarding clothing. 

Passengers on Hawaiian Airlines are prohibited from wearing bathing suits, and “clothing must cover the upper part of the torso,” says its contract of carriage. 

Shorts are fine, but “speedos and bikini bottoms are not allowed,” said Hawaiian Airlines. And bare feet are not OK either.
