United Airlines stopped girls in yoga pants from boarding flight — even after promoting leggings as travel wear
The latest travel ban appears to include yoga gear.
On Sunday, a United Airlines gate agent stopped two girls from boarding a flight from Denver to Minneapolis for wearing leggings, according to a live account of the debacle by Shannon Watts, a fellow passenger and founder of Moms Demand Action, a grassroots movement to end gun violence. "She's forcing them to change or put dresses on over leggings or they can't board," she tweeted. "Since when does @united police women's clothing?
Responding on Twitter, United Airlines, a unit of United Continental HoldingsUAL, +0.64% , tweeted that such decisions were at the discretion of a gate agent and said it has the right to refuse transport for passengers that violate Rule 21 of the airline's contract of carriage. That rule says passengers may be denied if they "are barefoot or not properly attired." It does not specify what constitutes proper attire; Watts noted that the father of one of the children was wearing shorts.
