Viral Video: Woman Claims Spirit Airlines Refused Her Boarding Over Short Shorts

Imagine Tanasia Grayer, poised to board her flight, sporting adorable shorts and a vibrant spirit. But then, Spirit Airlines unexpectedly denies her boarding due to her attire. It begs the question—why are we still scrutinizing women's clothing choices in 2025? Tanasia, undeterred, voiced her concerns regarding Spirit’s dress code policy. Reported by CBS Miami, on July 16, Tanasia arrived at Miami International Airport for a Chicago-bound flight. Upon reaching the gate, she was informed by Spirit staff that her outfit was unacceptable. “You’re not getting on a plane like that,” she recalled hearing from the gate agent. Despite wearing a pink robe to avoid revealing too much, she alleged that she walked through the airport without any issue. In a troubling turn, her sister, Jessica, ended up arrested for disorderly conduct after attempting to support her. Spirit's spokesperson stated that Tanasia failed to comply with their dress code. It’s a significant reminder of the ongoing debates surrounding airport apparel regulations.
