Two Orange County women are speaking out after they say they were kicked off of a Spirit Airlines flight because of what they were wearing.
It happened at Los Angeles International Airport on Friday, when their flight was supposed to be heading to New Orleans. While boarding, they were told by a flight attendant that their outfits were inappropriate.
Cell phone video shows the moments that the incident went down inside of the plane, with one of the flight’s staff members telling the women that it’s a “family friendly airline” when asked why she has to wear her sweater.
“If you look at the video online, we at no point escalated and yelled,” said Tara, one of the women who was forced to get off the flight. “The only thing we did was ask for the dress code.”
Carla Hager was also on board the flight, traveling with her toddler. She interjected herself into the discussion to defend the women.
“I thought that was inhumane and I said something,” Hager said while speaking with KCAL News.
