If there is one place where you certainly shouldn’t have to worry about looking good or being judged, it’s on an airplane.
Everyone who has ever travelled knows that when it comes to air travel, fashion, beauty and comfort do not mix.
But it turns out that there are some rules about what we can and can’t wear on a plane that we never knew about.
Apparently, leggings are banned.
The air-travelling world is in shock after one woman live-tweeted a 'showdown' of sorts at an airline gate, after two girls were told they had to change out of their comfortable activewear before they were allowed to board the plane.
Yes, really.
Passenger Shannon Watts - who started Moms Demand Action, a group campaigning for reasonable solutions to address our nation’s culture of gun violence - shared the story with her 33,000 followers.
1) A @united gate agent isn't letting girls in leggings get on flight from Denver to Minneapolis because spandex is not allowed?

I understand this applies to pass riders but I don't understand why they need to adhere to rules like this either. Those travelling on the same flight would have no idea that they're on pass flights and therefore a representation of the airline. And especially seeing as one of the passengers was a child is even worse. I don't understand the reasoning of the rule if not as a representative of the company. I've seen kids in pyjamas on flights before. Evidently they weren't pass fliers- or maybe they were on other airlines.....it's a discriminatory rule and should be banned.
This is mind boggling to see the number of people who see an article with an inflammatory headline and can't be bothered to read the rest. It's not rules for the general public!
