IF you don’t dress appropriately for your next flight, you might run the risk of getting banned from the plane.
One item of clothing that travelers wear, in particular, tends to be flagged by gate agents more than any other.

An airline gate agent revealed the item of clothing most likely to get a passenger banned in a Reddit post.
“Don’t wear shirts with obscene words,” the post read.
“We can’t board you to the aeroplane with a shirt that says a bad word. You will probably have to change it as it might offend another passenger.”
Incidents relating to offensive clothing have occurred in the past.
Last year, a man claimed he was threatened with an indefinite flight ban for wearing a sweater bearing the words “F**k Biden.”
Also in 2022, a South Korean DJ was kicked off her flight because her leggings had swear words on them.
Prior to that, in 2015, a college student in the US was kicked off his flight because his shirt had “f**king” printed on it.
But offensive words aren’t the only problem.
Wearing a skimpy top or pair of shorts could also prevent you from boarding.
In 2019, a woman was told her low-cut top was “causing offense” on a flight while another woman was booted off an easyJet flight because her outfit was too low-cut.
And in 2022, a female passenger was stopped from boarding her flight because of her outfit and told the pilot didn’t like people “showing a lot of skin.”
