Spirit Airlines flight attendant removes women wearing crop tops

Tara Kehidi and Teresa Araujo were removed from a Spirit Airlines flight from LAX to New Orleans for wearing crop tops.

Two women from Southern California were removed from a Spirit Airlines flight before takeoff because they were wearing crop tops, according to the airline and reports.

Tara Kehidi and Teresa Araujo initially wore sweaters as they boarded their flight from Los Angeles to New Orleans on Friday, the women told KABC in an interview. Since the plane had no air conditioning before takeoff, the women took off their sweaters, revealing their crop tops.

“We wore crop tops…like you could see your stomach a little bit,” Tara Kehidi said, according to KABC.

At some point, the women were approached by a male flight attendant and asked to “put something on” before walking away, the women told the Los Angeles-based television station.

“He tells us both to put our sweaters on,” Kehidi said, according to KABC. “And then we’re like, ‘Oh, can we see a dress code? For example, is there a policy that says we can’t wear crop tops on the plane?'”

Tara Kehidi and Teresa Araujo violated Spirit’s “dress standards.”

Araujo said the women were “kind of embarrassed” because they felt like they were “being treated like criminals,” KABC reported.

“Everyone on the plane looked at us,” Araujo said.

In a statement obtained by USA TODAY, a spokesperson for Spirit Airline said, “Our contract of carriage, a document that all guests agree to when making a reservation with us, sets forth certain dress standards for all guests traveling with us.”

“We are investigating the matter and are in touch with guests regarding their experiences,” the statement continued.

USA TODAY reached out to Kehidi on Monday but did not receive a response.

What does Spirit’s contract of carriage say?

According to Spirit’s contract of carriage, the airline can deny boarding or ask a guest to leave if they are “barefoot, inadequately clothed, or (if their) clothing is of an indecent, obscene or offensive nature.” The contract does not specifically list crop tops or detail what type of clothing would be considered inappropriate or offensive.

The contract also stipulates that a guest will not be entitled to a refund if they are asked to leave their flight. After starting with Spirit, the women spent $1,000 on a Delta flight to fly to New Orleans to celebrate Araujo’s 30th birthday, according to KABC.

“They honestly treated us like criminals – all because we wore crop tops on the plane,” Kehidi said.
