Spirit Airlines Tightens Dress Code with New Restrictions
Spirit Airlines has implemented a stricter dress code policy, which now explicitly bans passengers from wearing see-through clothing, exposing private areas, or displaying offensive tattoos. The updated policy, outlined in the airline’s contract of carriage, states that passengers who are “inadequately clothed” or whose attire or body art is deemed “lewd, obscene, or offensive in nature” may be denied boarding or removed from flights. Examples of prohibited attire include clothing that is see-through, exposes breasts, buttocks, or other private parts, or features offensive imagery.
The policy change follows several incidents, including the removal of two women from a Spirit flight in October for wearing crop tops. While the airline has long prohibited barefoot passengers and offensive clothing, the new guidelines provide more specific examples, aiming to reduce ambiguity and ensure a family-friendly environment onboard. Passengers must agree to these terms when booking tickets.
Reactions to the updated policy have been mixed. Some passengers argue that the rules infringe on personal expression, while others support the airline’s right to enforce decorum. Spirit Airlines has not commented on individual incidents but emphasized that the policy is designed to maintain a respectful atmosphere for all travelers. This move reflects a broader trend among airlines to clarify and enforce dress codes, balancing corporate policies with passenger freedoms.
