Woman claims Southwest wouldn't let her board plane because of her cleavage: report
NY Daily News ^ | 6/18/12 | Philip Caulfield

Southwest Airlines was forced to apologize to a woman who was told she couldn't board her flight because her cleavage was "inappropriate."

Jezebel reports that the woman, Avital — she only gave her first name — was boarding a 6 a.m. flight from Las Vegas to New York on June 5 when a ticket agent remarked that she couldn't fly unless she covered her breasts.

Clad in a comfy cotton dress, a baggy flannel shirt and bright scarf, Avital ignored the warning and marched aboard anyway.

Avital slammed the Southwest for "slut shaming," and said a man on her flight had on a provocative piece of clothing, but wasn't hassled.

OH for those 1960s and ‘70s airline advertisements! Remember the “Air Strip”?

I remember when Continental Airlines' theme song was "We really move our tail for you . . ."

I would have her arrested for Crimes of Fashion.

Serious color clash.

That’s a pathetic boob job. I think the silicone is leaking at the tops of both.
