Bill Maher Says New Dress Code At Spirit Airlines Requires The Suspension Of Flights To Florida…

How about a little humor to lighten our day courtesy of comedian Bill Maher and at the expense of Spirit Airlines and the fine folks of Florida?

Bill Maher Thinks Spirit Airlines Has A Florida Problem With New Dress Code

Maher often jokes about airlines in the “New Rules” segment of his weekly HBO series Real Time. Last Friday, he shared some colorful commentary on the new dress code Spirit Airlines recently launched, which we covered here. The new dress code bans see-through clothing, the inadequate covering of “private” parts, and body art that may be lewd or offensive.

Maher commends Spirit Airlines for implementing a dress code with “real teeth” but then says, “But they have to make a choice. They can either really enforce such a dress code or they can fly to Florida, but they can’t do both.”

As the audience laughs, Maher suggested new boarding groups for the discount carrier:

“It would be a lot easier just to make the dress code violators into boarding groups. Barefoot and inadequately clothed, group one. Offensive and lewd tattoos, group two. Group three is illegal immigrants and the good news is that Trump is flying you home for free.”

Beyond the humor, does Maher have a point? Is the dress code fundamentally incompatible with the carrier?

    Funny . Yet a correct dress code is for the benefit of civilized people . No more smells accompanying passengers .

    Also a correct music code would go a long way to clean up the “entertainment” . For example , no more “rap noise” .

    I think Spirit should be more focused on the 2nd offer it has rejected from Frontier since filing for Chapter 11.
    Spirit needs a dance partner, and soon!!

      Let’s hope Spirit can persuade United Airlines to dance with her. Compared to Frontier, UAL is stronger financially, and more importantly, UAL has small market share in Floride, which is important for antitrust concern.

    I’d say in the last 25 years,half the passengers in first/ business class look like they’re on their way to clean out the garage.This includes European carriers.

      Completely agree with you on this. In my experiences on Delta and United domestic first class, it’s a little better with only about 25% dressed like they’re getting ready to do their gardening. Don’t know about the other airlines.

      In response to Matthew’s question, the dress code is definitely NOT incompatible with Spirit. We cannot associate low fares with dressing like bums, slobs, etc. I hope other carriers follow suit.

    This one hits me personally because we fly to FLL annually to go to a (rental) timeshare in Pompano Beach. Maher is from my generation when FLL was rather dziki (crazy) with the spring breakers but that hasn’t been the case for years. Then again, I don’t fly Spirit so who knows what the heck they have going on?

    X 100 Asa George’s comment! America looks like we are going to the gym instead of flying. “Manjamas”, tights, flip flops, gym shorts and shower shoes would prevent many from entering a NASCAR race let alone an airplane! (humor intended)

    Americans dress like they’re going to the gym but eat like healthcare is free.

    Dress better? The better dressed the more nuisance TSA is.

    Shorts or sweats w/o belts and t-shirts or sweats w/o pockets are the easiest way through security theater.
