A woman was not allowed to board a flight because she was wearing "cleavage"
CBS4Andrea Worldwide, a member of United Airlines' Platinum Club, was not allowed to board a flight from Denver, Colorado to Newark, New York, after claiming she did not comply with the company's dress code and wearing a too prominent cleavage that revealed her barlet bra.
Andrea got ready just before the boarding stage that she will not be able to board the first flight on her trip to San Juan, Puerto Rico, where she is scheduled to meet her partner. She said the crew humiliated her in front of the other passengers when he refused to allow her to board the flight. She said the team explained to her that it was her low cleavage that did not comply with the dress code - but she quickly took pictures in the mirror to prove that despite the prominent cleavage - she was wearing a long cardigan and scarf and revealing nothing. She told The Mirror: "I was humiliated, embarrassed, confused. I felt all eyes were on me."

Only after arguing did the staff change his mind and let Andrea get on the flight. They even offered her a travel voucher to compensate for their behavior, but Andrea rejected the offer, reasoning: "Even two hundred dollars isn't worth the humiliation I went through. So that other women don't have to deal with it, I prefer to talk and convince people to move to another airline."
The incident happened on January 13 and United Airlines is now in contact with Andrea to handle her complaint, CBS4 reports. The company spokesman said: "United aims to make our customers feel at home and have a fun and comfortable flight. We are in touch with our client to better understand what the circumstances were. The airline now has a clear policy on dress code for employees and travelers who are friends and family of staff, But regular passengers have few limitations. "
