May 19, 2017: Airlines have started paying attention to how passengers look and dress when flying — leggings (“legging-gate”) recently resulted in some United travelers — traveling on passes — being removed. Here are some “simple” tips to consider when traveling:
- Don’t show up intoxicated
- Show up looking healthy
- Behave yourself
- Follow directions
- Practice good personal hygiene (PLEASE)
- Consider you attire
The enforcement of travel grooming and health is largely at the discretion of airport gate and in flight staff — Southwest will bounce you off a flight if they consider your attire lewd, obscene or offensive. “No shoes — no service” as the saying goes.
