Woman has brutal response to airline that refused her boarding over ‘naked’ outfit

During the ongoing heatwave, we've all probably trying to wear as few clothes as possible.

However, as much as we might like to be working shirtless in the garden, that's not going to go down well when your boss invites you to a zoom call, especially if you've got a beer in your hand at 2pm.

Naturally, there are some places where you might need to cover up a bit more, and that apparently includes an airport, as one influencer claims to have been told to cover up before boarding her flight in the sweltering conditions.

Although things can sometimes get a bit cold when you're up at 10,000ft, people normally dress for their holiday destination, to avoid being overdressed when you get hit by that beautiful blast of hot air as you step off the plane.

However, thanks to Super El Nino, that blast has become an ever-present in our lives the past few days, particularly in the UK where nobody seems to have any air conditioning.

So, it was no surprise that German influencer Edda Elisa was wearing some light clothing when she attempted to board her flight earlier this week.

She took to Instagram to suggest that as she tried to scan her boarding pass, a representative told her: "You cannot board."

“You have nothing on. You are naked," she then claimed she was told, after asking why she wasn't being allowed on the flight.

Although she was eventually able to board the flight after donning a hoodie, it hasn't stopped her from clapping back at the airline on her social media.

Sharing another sporty outfit, the influencer wrote: "I'm curious to see if this outfit is boarding-worthy this time. What do you think?"

"Lufthansa takes indications of potential irregularities in the way passengers are handled very seriously and reviews such incidents internally," a spokesperson for the airline said.

However, Lufthansa insisted that employees can act with 'due discretion' when ensuring passengers adhere to their rules on an aircraft.

The spokesperson continued: "As a general principle, Lufthansa expects all passengers to wear clothing appropriate to the nature of public travel and not to impair the well-being of fellow passengers from a wide range of countries.

"This expectation forms part of our General Conditions of Carriage. Our employees act on this basis with due discretion and within the scope of their judgment."

There are certainly times that you need to dress for the occasion and apparently that includes when you are getting on a flight, which perhaps isn't that surprising when you consider all the other various rules you need to follow at airports.

Edda's response certainly split opinion online with some feeling that her outfit wasn't inappropriate at all, while others sided with the airport employee.

At least now you can prepare properly for your next flight ahead of this very hot summer, even if it means sticking a jacket in your hand luggage.
