Airports and flights are the places where one can expect the most bizarre things to happen. From finding obscured foreign objects like cockroaches in the mid-air meal to a man roaming around the flight in boxers, airlines have super bizarre stories to offer always.
Emily O’Connor, who is a resident of Birmingham, was taking a flight from her hometown to Tenerife, Spain on March 12.
Thomas Cook Airlines recently told her to either cover up or to get off their flight that was travelling from Birmingham, England to the Canary Islands.
She wore a fashionable outfit in a crop top and pants to the flight. The airlines asked ‘causing annoyance’ and was ‘inappropriate’ or they would remove her from the flight.
Shocked by the incident, O’Connor shared the entire incident on Twitter.
Flying from Bham to Tenerife, Thomas Cook told me that they were going to remove me from the flight if I didn’t “cover up” as I was “causing offence” and was “inappropriate”. They had 4 flight staff around me to get my luggage to take me off the plane. pic.twitter.com/r28nvSYaoY

I informed the staff that there is no “appropriate wear” policy stipulated online. I stood up on the flight and asked if anyone was offended, no-one said a word.
Would really appreciate if you could vote and share on the below!— Emily (@emroseoconnor) March 12, 2019

asked the plane (as they were all listening now anyway) if I was offending anyone, no-one said a word. The manager then went to get my bag to remove me from the flight. A man then shouted “Shut up you pathetic woman. Put a f*cking jacket on”- the staff said nothing to him

I was given a jacket by my cousin sitting at the front of the plane and they did not leave until I physically put it on. They made comments over the speaker about the situation and left me shaking and upset on my own.

The airline said its policy states customers wearing “inappropriate attire will not be permitted to travel unless a change of clothes is possible”.
