Thomas Cook Airlines recently told a passenger to either cover up or to get off their flight that was travelling from Birmingham, England to the Canary Islands.
21-year-old Emily O'Connor, who is a resident of Birmingham, was taking a flight from her hometown to Tenerife, Spain on March 12. Emily, dressed in a black crop top with spaghetti straps and high-waisted orange pants was asked by the crew of the flight to cover up or deboard.
The Thomas Cook crew told Emily that her outfit was inappropriate and was causing offence to her fellow passengers.
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— Emily O'Connor (@emroseoconnor) March 12, 2019
