Spirit Airlines has a new dress code for passengers banning certain tattoos, clothing — or not enough clothing.

The airline updated its “contract of carriage” stating passengers "may not be permitted to board" or "may be required to leave an aircraft" if they are barefoot, “inadequately clothed," or if clothing or tattoos are obscene or offensive.

The rules specify “inadequately clothed” as see-through clothing, not enough coverage, exposed breasts, buttocks or other private parts.

It also stated people who are considered too smelly can be removed from a flight.

The tattoo thing could get a little hairy but the rest of it sounds solid. Flying on a commercial airline is a privilege not a right. If you can’t be assed to do the bare minimum to make yourself tolerable for others for a few hours then you have other options to travel privately (and at a much greater cost.)

Maybe they are going for stuff like swastika tattoos?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Or rainbows. There are all kinds of flight attendants.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Hopefully that and stuff like exposed tattoos of genitalia or sex scenes.

I mean, these carriers act like a Greyhound bus, at least we should be allowed to dress like one. All of those guys showing their breasts and buttocks with see through briefs should be allowed to dress they way they want.

Glad they’re including hygiene.

Except it's all subjective. If a person has a German swastika tattoo and the other person has a Biden tattoo, the flight attendant could justifiably let either of them stay.

uh huh, i'm ok with the flight crews making the determination

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Maybe they should be more specific then.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

They can't list every specific thing. There is no way to account for each possibility. As long as there are people determined to break the rules, the rules will have to be left vague enough to account for general assholery.

[–] pelespirit 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Now there will be general assholery for the airlines and the passengers.

Which is why we punch Nazis.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

TBF, up until the last decade or so, 99.99% of humans anywhere would've failed to ID the Nazi versions of their plagiarized symbols - many of which represented completely opposite concepts to the Nazi versions. Thanks to Drumpf, Musk (and hell even Rodman, et al), everyone everywhere knows what a free-use Nazi cum-dumpster looks like these days. 🤷🏼‍♂️😶

I remember the time when they had naked flights. Not spirit but some airline somewhere.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Since 2003, this particular airline:

Do what's the big deal if someone wants to show us something?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

That's about flying without luggage.
