Woman Says Southwest Told Her She Couldn’t Board Flight To N.Y. Due To Her Cleavage

[chaya]

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork.com) - You are now free to move about the country.

Unless you show too much cleavage?

So says a woman named Avital.

Avital was boarding a 6 a.m. Southwest Airlines flight on June 5 from Las Vegas to New York, wearing a cotton black dress, flannel shirt and scarf.

Avital claims she was politely chatting with an airline

What a nightmare. Flying is stressful enough without double-checking necklines.

Pretty much this, yeah.

OK I saw the pic of Avital's cleavage and don't find it offensive at all. In fact, figuring in the Vegas heat, it makes practical sense to dress as comfortably as possible. I mean, what's worse... cleavage or heatstroke?

Your icon is so fitting.

Thanks, and to think I nearly forgot to use it in this instance! ;)

OH NO NOT BOOOOOOOOOBS!!!!!!

I wore a dress like that to work the other day because it was hot and I had to move books and furniture. I'm a high school teacher. Yes, I wore a cardigan over it when I was with students, but as soon as they left, I took the cardigan off. We all survived.

Add this to the list of reasons NEVER to fly Southwest.

Oh, jeez. If that's too much cleavage, I better not leave the house because the vast majority of my dresses sit just like that.

Southwest Airlines needs to have all the seats and do their job of flying people from place to place, safely.
