Flying just got a little more formal—or at least a little more covered up—on Spirit Airlines. The airline has introduced stricter dress code rules, and they want passengers to think twice about their outfits before boarding.
What’s Not Allowed Anymore?
Spirit Airlines isn’t exactly asking for a suit and tie, but they do have some clear no-gos when it comes to what you wear. Here’s the rundown:
- See-through clothing that shows private areas is a no.
- Offensive tattoos could get you pulled aside.
- And, yes, being barefoot is officially banned (though that one might be less controversial).
Essentially, the airline is asking for clothes that keep things covered and tattoos that don’t offend other travelers.
Why Are They Doing This?
This isn’t a random move. Spirit Airlines has faced some awkward situations with passenger attire in the past. Just last year, two women were asked to leave a flight because they were wearing crop tops the airline deemed inappropriate.
Now, they’re making things clear so everyone knows the expectations before stepping onboard. The goal? To create a more comfortable and respectful atmosphere for everyone flying.
How to Avoid a Problem
If you’re wondering how to avoid getting flagged, it’s pretty straightforward:
- Dress in a way that covers the basics—literally.
- Leave offensive slogans or images off your clothing.
- If you’ve got tattoos, make sure they won’t offend anyone.
As long as you follow these simple guidelines, you’re good to go.
Joining Other Airlines
Spirit isn’t alone in this. Airlines like Delta and American Airlines already have similar policies, so this change just puts Spirit in line with industry standards.
