Clothing Is Optional On Spirit Airlines…?

Matthew Klint Posted onSeptember 29, 2023November 13, 2023 57 Comments

a woman in a bathing suit

When it comes to flying Spirit Airlines out of Florida, it seems that a swimsuit is no problem and clothing is optional…

Spirit Airlines Passenger Wears Swimsuit…Or Maybe Not?

Let’s get right to the video, which appears to have been taken at the Spirit Airlines check-in counter at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL):

A post shared by Jay Robert – A Fly Guy (@aflyguytravels)

My friend Jay, who posted this video on his popular Instagram page, aptly wondered, “This is why airlines have dress codes. Now, the question is, did they enforce or let her travel like this?”

And that is not clear.

There’s not much else to say. It’s one thing to wear something revealing…it’s another to wear something leaves nothing to the imagination. I suppose it could be that this woman was not aware that her bathing suit was riding up on her…but that seems unlikely to me.

And on Spirit Airlines where the seats are so tight…

In that sense, the problem is not the exposed buttocks but the exposed arms and legs that are likely to rub up against her seatmate, which is true of passengers regardless of size when seats are so small. Hopefully, this woman was traveling with friends who did not mind!

We don’t know if Spirit Airlines did anything about this, but we probably would have heard about it as we do on American Airlines or Southwest Airlines.

My bottom line is this: just be considerate in choosing wardrobe attire on an airplane so that you do not involuntarily make skin-to-skin contact with another passenger onboard. That’s not too much to ask, is it?

    When you allow a senator to wear baggy shorts and a hoodie in the Senate, you should allow anyone to wear anything anywhere. Yes, they reverted the code but the fact that it was allowed gives the message to people that they can also pick their own dress code.

      Nice try, the Senate passed a new dress code the other day, and wearing shorts and hoodie aren’t allowed. You have to wear a jacket. So your comment is a swing and a miss

    1. Obscene particularly if front genitalia is exposed. Should be arrested and held for psychiatric evaluation if so exposed.

    2. Woman is really dumb because so much exposed skin is unsafe if there is an evacuation.

    3. So fat is unhealthy. Obesity is a risk factor with severe Covid.

    I recently flew Southwest Airlines during the summer from Kansas City to Los angeles. A very very scantily clad woman lined up in the A section not terribly far behind me, and I wondered whether she would be allowed on the airplane because she was very underdressed. As it turned out when I got on and seated myself in a forward aisle seat I noticed that everyone else got on and she was not there. I believe she was correctly detained at the entrance to the jetway and not allowed to fly. I am in agreement with that.

      Nice play on words. Put a cover up on. When I flew years ago you dressed like it was for business. Guys a dress shirt, dressy trousers, and comfortable shoes. Ladies a dress or suit, and comfortable shoes.

    Society has been inundated with the actions of one particular group of people, from pants at their knees, obscene everyday language, loudness, rudeness, the breaking of laws and now this. And if anyone speaks up, they are immediately shamed for pointing out these “attributes” and are always called a “racist”. I, for one, am way past being tired of these actions – these people need to be held accountable. I am sure that this post of mine will have those who are the champions of this type of behavior will now go off on what I have said – and they will cry that I am being “racist” – when, in reality, I am stating the truth that everyone knows is true.

      Yeah that’s racist! “Society has been inundated with the actions of one particular group of people, from pants at their knees, obscene everyday language, loudness, rudeness, the breaking of laws and now this.” Trying to blame ALL the issues of today on one ‘particular’ group as you’ve done is absolutely racist! So I guess you Virtuous, Pure, Innocent, Christian, God fearing white people do nothing that effects society! You may feel you’re ‘just being honest and telling it like it is’ but you’re not telling ALL your truth like, being racist and thinking you’re not! GTFOH!

    Clothing to cover the body is a sanitary issue,not modesty. No one would enjoy fungal rashes growing on skin folds touching pax and cabin surfaces.

    Unfortunately this has become the norm for passengers on Spirit. It’s not just in FL but nation wide. The more skin the better seems to be what these passengers are thinking. They have replaced the Walmartians. It’s pitiful. Gone are the days when people dressed up to fly and had manners (unfortunately).

    Could she be wearing the short leggings that come to mid thigh? It appears they are very tight and match her skin tone. I doubt she is naked from the waist down. It’s a poor fashion choice but not naked.

    Different HUMANS do different things. Race, color, creed notwithstanding. I’ve seen Caucasian women wear outlandish foolishness outdoors, where kids/old people are. I’ve also seen Black wear nonsense. But America has this do as thou wilt attitude, and then when people do it, it’s narrowed down to a certain group of people. Miss me with the racist propaganda please.
