By ATTS Spirit Airlines Implements Stricter Dress Code
Low-cost carrier Spirit Airlines has revised its terms and conditions, implementing a stricter dress code for passengers. The updated policy, outlined in the airline’s Contract of Carriage, aims to ensure a comfortable and respectful environment for all travelers.
Specific Clothing Restrictions
The new dress code expands on previous regulations regarding barefoot or inadequately clothed passengers. It now explicitly prohibits clothing that is see-through or reveals private parts, including breasts and buttocks. Additionally, clothing or body art that is lewd, obscene, or offensive in nature will not be permitted on Spirit Airlines flights.
Passenger Concerns
Some passengers have expressed concerns about the new rules. Rafael Dominguez raised worries that individuals with tattoos may be unfairly targeted. The contract also states that passengers denied boarding or asked to leave a flight for violating the dress code may not be eligible for a refund.
Comparison with Other Airlines
Spirit Airlines is not the only airline with a dress code. American Airlines and Southwest Airlines have similar policies in place. American Airlines prohibits barefoot passengers and offensive clothing, while Southwest Airlines reserves the right to refuse service to individuals wearing lewd, obscene, or patently offensive clothing.
Conclusion
Spirit Airlines’ updated dress code aims to maintain a safe and respectful environment onboard its flights. While some passengers may have reservations about the new regulations, Spirit Airlines believes that the revised policy will ultimately benefit all travelers.
