United Airlines came under fire Sunday after two teenage girls were barred by a gate attendant from boarding a flight from Denver to Minneapolis because they were wearing leggings. The dress code bars pass travelers from wearing spandex or Lycra pants such as leggings. The teenagers agreed to change their clothing and take a later flight, Guerin said, but the airline's actions sparked a quick backlash on Twitter. Regularly ticketed passengers are not subject to the same dress code and can wear leggings, Guerin said. The passengers this morning were United pass riders and not in compliance with our dress code for company benefit travel.
