'See-through clothing,' 'offensive' body art can get you kicked off Spirit Airlines

You may need to cover up on your next the Spirit Airlines flight.

The budget airline updated its contract of carriage to specify the types of clothing and tattoos that may not be allowed on board.

According to its contract dated Jan. 22, 2025:

"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."

Last October, two California women were reportedly removed from a Spirit flight for wearing crop tops. At the time, the airline told USA TODAY, "Our Contract of Carriage, a document all Guests agree to upon making a reservation with us, includes certain clothing standards for all Guests traveling with us."

Previously, the contract said passengers could be denied boarding or required to leave if they were "barefoot or inadequately clothed, or (if their) clothing is lewd, obscene, or offensive in nature." But it did not specify examples nor body art.

USA TODAY reached out Spirit Airlines about the change.
