Vague Airline Dress Codes Lead to Allegations of Discrimination as Passengers Denied Boarding over Attire
- Several recent incidents have occurred where airline passengers were singled out or denied boarding due to their fashion choices, sparking social media outrage
- Airline dress code policies are often vague, simply stating passengers must "dress appropriately", leaving room for interpretation and inconsistent enforcement
- Women and minorities seem to be disproportionately targeted in these incidents, raising concerns over discrimination
- Flight attendants aim to resolve potential issues on the ground to avoid in-flight disruptions, but captains have final authority on denying boarding
- Passengers denied boarding over attire often have little recourse and may have to pay for unused tickets themselves
