Spirit Airlines quietly introduces new dress code for passengers that will ban fliers sporting trashy looks

ave the crop tops for Florida’s beaches and keep your feet in your shoes as Spirit Airlines is cracking down on ‘inadequate’ clothing on its flights.
On Wednesday, the company quietly updated its contract of carriage for passengers, which includes updating its dress code for passengers flying the budget airline.
The new rule dictates that a guest ‘shall not be permitted to board the aircraft’ if they are ‘barefoot or inadequately clothed.’
Among the examples of inappropriate travel outfits include: see-through clothing, exposed breasts, buttocks, or other private parts; lewd, obscene, or offensive clothing and tattoos.
The new regulation comes after multiple incidents of passengers being confronted over their attire.
Earlier this month, John Garcia Jr. was kicked off a Spirit flight for wearing a hoodie with the words: ‘FVCK HATE WORLD TOUR.’
Garcia was first confronted as he started to place his luggage in the overhead locker on January 13. A female flight attendant approached him to ask if he was in the right seat.
Garcia said she later told him to remove his hoodie because of the ‘obscene language.’
