Spirit Airlines is setting the rules straight for its customers.
On Wednesday, Jan. 22, the airline updated itspassenger contractto include guidelines on what is acceptable to wear when boarding their planes.
Within its “Conduct/Condition section,” Spirit Airlines stated that passengers will not be allowed to board the flight or “may be required to leave an aircraft” if they are wearing “inadequate” attire such as “see-through clothing; not adequately covered; exposed breasts, buttocks, or other private part.”
Passengers will also be denied travel if they have body art that is “lewd, obscene, or offensive in nature.”

While they wore sweaters during boarding, they took them off midway through the flight due to the air conditioning being switched off.
A second video shared in Araujo’s Instagram carousel featured a woman with a child, stating she was also being removed from the plane for wearing a crop top.
A spokesperson for Spirit Airlines toldUSA Todayat the time, “Our Contract of Carriage, a document all Guests agree to upon making a reservation with us, includes certain clothing standards for all Guests traveling with us.”
They added, “We are investigating the matter, and we are in contact with the Guests about their experience.”
