A British airline has apologised to a woman who says she was threatened with being kicked off a flight because of her "inappropriate" outfit. Emily O'Connor says she was wearing a black crop top and orange trousers when she boarded the Thomas Cook flight for Tenerife in Birmingham, UK. That changed after she boarded the flight, as cabin crew repeatedly asked her to cover up, reports The Telegraph. Flying from Bham to Tenerife, Thomas Cook told me that they were going to remove me from the flight if I didn’t “cover up” as I was “causing offence” and was “inappropriate”. pic.twitter.com/r28nvSYaoY — Emily O'Connor (@emroseoconnor) March 12, 2019A Thomas Cook spokesperson says the airline is sorry to have upset O'Connor and "could have handled the situation better", reports The Telegraph.
