“Shocking Airline Drama: Passengers Booted from Flight for ‘Inappropriate’ Crop Tops – What Really Happened?”
The carrier referred to their service’s Contract of Carriage, which states that “the airline can deny a guest from boarding or require them to leave if they are barefoot or inadequately clothed, or (if their) clothing is lewd, obscene, or offensive in nature.”
Spirit Airlines has not apologized directly to Araujo, but they offered tickets free of charge back to New Orleans and made no mention of their dress code despite the couple wearing the same crop tops

Speaking with the BBC, Tara Kehidi claimed they had to pay $1,000 for new tickets to arrive at their destination in Los Angeles.
Araujo then uploaded a follow-up video last Tuesday (October 8) in which she explained how the airline provided them with tickets free of charge for their trip back to New Orleans. However, she also explained that the trauma of their first encounter with the attendant still lingered on their minds as they boarded the plane.

“I was thinking, ‘my god, what if Jay’s in this flight as well? What if they kick us out again?’” she said, recalling how a different steward received them and directly addressed their previous incident, stating that they “do things differently in New Orleans.”

Much to Araujo’s surprise, despite wearing the same clothes she wore on the first flight, she or her friend were not asked to either cover up or leave the plane, leading her to believe Jay specifically discriminated against her.
