SALT LAKE CITY-<\/strong> A Delta Air Lines (DL)<\/a> passenger, who identifies as queer, alleges that they were removed from a recent flight for not wearing a bra, as airport staff accused them of violating Delta’s dress code. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lisa Archbold, a Kiwi expatriate residing in the United States, shared with the New Zealand Herald<\/em> that their intention was to fly with Delta from Salt Lake City to San Francisco on January 22. However, shortly after boarding, a staff member summoned them to the front of the plane and had them deplaned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Delta Removes Passenger Over Dress-Code Violation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Lisa, who had just concluded her involvement at the Sundance Film Festival, where she was assisting in promoting a liquor brand, initially believed she was in trouble due to her checked-in bag containing bottles of vodka.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When confronted by the Delta employee, Lisa realized that it was their clothing choice causing the issue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Describing the incident, Lisa shared with the newspaper, “This woman from the ground crew comes to me and loudly says in front of the whole plane, \u2018I need to speak to you in private. Follow me.\u2019\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lisa initially thought it might be a serious matter like someone’s death or a peculiar item found in their bag. However, the employee allegedly informed Lisa that Delta’s policy mandated the removal of individuals in “revealing clothes” and presented them with an ultimatum: either cover up with a jacket or leave the plane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I was dressed in baggy pants and a shirt like a little boy; I had no clue what she was referring to,” Lisa expressed. They asserted that they were singled out because of wearing men’s clothing and argued that the absence of a bra should be irrelevant to their travel eligibility. Lisa pointed out, “Neither were the men on that flight, and lots have bigger breasts than me.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Humiliating Policy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sharing the experience on Instagram, Lisa posted, “I was singled out last week by a Delta Airlines ground crew. She removed me from a flight after everyone was seated, parading me around \u2013 humiliation and abuse.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I am convinced it was because I don’t conform to her idea of how a woman should appear. She weaponized a policy to mistreat people who are different.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A DJ and vocalist known by the stage name DJette Kiwi, Lisa mentions that Delta used to be one of their favorite brands, primarily due to its reputation for inclusivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Delta doesn’t have a specific dress code, the airline states that it reserves the right to remove individuals from its airplanes if their “conduct, attire, hygiene, or odor creates an unreasonable risk of offense or annoyance to other passengers.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lisa contends that this policy “exposes an inclusive company to the exploitation by bigots.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
