These clothes could get you kicked off flights in Florida. Here’s what to avoid

ORLANDO, Fla. – The busy holiday season might be over, but it’s still important to know the rules of air travel before you book your next flight.

For example, Spirit Airlines updated its “contract of carriage” last month, adding a clause that prohibits customers from flying with “lewd” outfits.

More specifically, the new guidelines read as follows:

“A guest shall not be permitted to board the aircraft or may be required to leave an aircraft if that guest... is barefoot or inadequately clothed (i.e., see-through clothing; not adequately covered; exposed breasts, buttocks, or other private parts), or whose clothing or article, including body art, is lewd, obscene, or offensive in nature.”

Spirit Airlines

Other guidelines with the airline also prohibit guests from flying if they have “an offensive odor” (unless otherwise caused by a qualified disability) or if they have a contagious disease like chicken pox that can be transmitted during the course of a flight.

But Spirit Airlines isn’t the only company to have these sorts of rules in place. Other airlines with the Orlando International Airport that have dress codes are as follows:

• ALASKA AIRLINES
  • May prohibit passengers who are barefoot or “whose conduct, attire, hygiene, or odor creates an unreasonable risk of offense or annoyance to other passengers”
