This is not the first time the issue has come up. Earlier this year a passenger confronted a flight attendant in Miami over her “watermelon” pin, a now-common stand-in for the Palestinian flag. Police ultimately intervened, and American confirmed the pin was not approved under company policy. I also wrote about a United Airlines flight attendant who wore a Palestinian flag pin.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Live and Let's Fly.
