A lesbian traveler has taken to X to share an awkward interaction she had with a United Airlines flight attendant, who called her shirt offensive, and that post has gone viral. While I disagree with the exact words the flight attendant reportedly used, I completely agree with the idea of what she’s saying.
Officially, United’s contract of carriage states that the airline has “the right to refuse transport on a permanent or temporary basis or shall have the right to remove from the aircraft at any point, any passengers who are barefoot, not properly clothed, or whose clothing is lewd, obscene or offensive”
In reality, all too often airline dress codes are just used to force women with large breasts to cover up, which I find to be completely ridiculous. I’m not trying to be crass, but a vast majority of the time when there are stories of people being asked to change, that seems to be the reason.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
