The airline said its has an appropriate attire policy which is available in the in-flight magazine.
The policy states"customers wearing inappropriate attire will not be permitted to travel unless a change of clothes is possible".Ms O'Connor claims she asked other customers if they were offended by her clothing, but no-one answered. Responding to comments on Twitter, she pointed out that a man seated two rows behind her was wearing a vest top and shorts - yet had not been spoken to.
Just to add to this: a gent 2 rows behind me was wearing a vest top and shorts...yet clearly nothing was said to himThomas Cook said its dress code policy applies"equally to men and women of all ages without discrimination" but staff"don't always get it right". It said that a member of their team had spoken to Ms O'Connor about the situation and is currently trying to get in touch again to offer a further apology, following an investigation.
Nobody likes cold pancakes.
Can't believe it yes TC have a dress code but staff can get it wrong sometimes SOMETIMES five staff members ganged up on the poor girl , you are pathetic TOMARSE COOK.
Jealous jobsworth
stephsharpe_ nothing on how I rocked up to that airport in Ibiza 😂😂
Yawn. It's 2019, how is this newsworthy?
Muslim World strikes again....
Fashion through the ages - a hell of a lot more on show up top in the 1700’s, tiny satin slips in the 20’s, mini skirts in the 60’s... As long as people aren’t stark naked, so what?!!
It does look like a bra. She should have worn a tube top.
Creeping sharia.
Is it just me or are a good 30% of staff on planes complete wronguns?
There seems to be a lot of jealous women commenting on this article
I think she’s got an altitude problem
Amy excuse for a drama. Tbf though as can be clearly seen in most businesses women are not use to following a dress code. To difficult for what ever reason. Can't really expect them to grasp that an airline might have one.
Seriously though it does look like she’s got on the plane with her bralet or bra. Seriously it does - so where does it stop Next people will be getting on planes with thongs and pretending they are shorts...
More flesh the better (in most cases)
Sat behind a bold German businessman on a Ryanair flight to Munich I can't see what all the fuss is about!
Pathetic just like this joke of a brexit deal. What ever next. This country is shambolic.
Perhaps it might be a good idea to have this made clear before a person has already boarded their flight!
Well done Thomas Cook. The lady couldn’t wait till she lands and get naked on the beach?😂
Why is this news?
'Sorry we upset you' & 'could've' handled it better is NOT a real apology. They are not accepting they were wrong and shouldn't have challenged Emily's clothing. They're just sorry she was upset. That's the oldest trick in the book when you're not actually sorry ThomasCookUK👎😡
A publicity stunt to gain media attention
This is not news! People are dying in the world. Get a grip
Why apologise she looks like she’s wearing just a bra & this kind of dress sense is offensive!! coverupalittle dresssense
Some day people will be attending official functions half-dressed. It will become a fundamental human right that cannot be negotiated. And we still wonder why things don't work. When discipline is scorned, decay sets in. And civilizations perish.
JamesDelingpole Get ready for a lot more of that...
I’m sorry, it’s 5* outside WHY would you dress like this if not to draw attention? Something not quite right here
Two fried eggs!
Silly girl, bet she is an instagram model! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
.. and yet the airlines keep serving over priced alcohol to already-pissed up groups of dickheads who regularly make plane journeys a misery for whole plane loads of passengers 🤔 strange ?
Good reason not to fly Thomas cook if they behave like that surely their staff should have intercepted her before boarding if it is their policy.
Unacceptable from Thomas Cook, probably paid her holiday with hard earned money and excited about going only to get told off for what loads of young girls wear these days, everyday, I would be raging 😤
Slow news day?
Many would dream of this being 'the worst day in their life'.
Oh come on ThomasCookUK. Don't apologise! You have rules and people need to follow them. Don't apologise to an over privileged millennial! Should students complain when they don't wear their school uniform to school and are sent home?
Why are people flipping out about clothing? Look away, or if you can’t control yourself walk away.
Shaken and upset? Oh you poor woman. How will you go on? Maybe you should write a book? Sounds like an over reaction from both parties to be fair.
Can she fly sitting next to me every time please?
Sad face 4/10!
This is disgusting behaviour from one of the worst holiday firms out there . You would think they would do everything and more to try and keep there customers.
What was the demographic like on this plane departing multi cultural Birmingham?
The worst day of my life? Honey, if you think that was a bad life experience you have a huge wake-up call coming.What willyou do if the doctor tells you that you have an incurable disease. Men have been told countless times thatthey can’t be seated at a restaurant wo a jacket.
Maybe it's time our young women stopped dressing like prostitutes and started dressing more sensibly, also wouldn't hurt for role models like Little Mix to start using their positions to set a good example.
Yeah it would be a good idea to cover up as there's nothing to show
She’s after a bit of compo and that’s it
Just an exhibitionist wanting her 15 minutes.
She was shaking from not having anything to cover up with...it's freezing in those airports and planes
Well why would anyone want to sit next to someone in their bra? Time and a place.
The MC Hammer/Kardashian look, nowt wrong with that.
New ThomasCookUK livery coming soon thomascook Birmingham
The look at me generation
How dare they, she looks fine, I’ve travelled home in less!!
No class.
Less is more
Trying to get herself in the spotlight. Money for my story !!
She is attention seeker
I hope she takes them to the cleaners.. I live 15 miles away from Bham airport and I will only fly from Manchester 70+miles away. Bham Airport is like a third world 💩 hole. I think that says it all.
Over reaction from both parties.
Sod em!! Just enjoy your holidays!! Thomas Cook, shocking again! Think thats above your pay grade to tell people what to wear!!
I should think so too. I’ll bet she was showing off her ankles as well
Shaking and upset so much but found the time to feed her story to the media, update twitter, reply to questions....
I’d put good money on it being Pakistani who complained.
Her tweet clearly states surrounded by 4 crew but your reports inflates it to 5 👀
People don’t realise how dangerous aircraft are. In a crash during takeoff or landing there can be fuel spills that catch fire. In turbulence hot water often is spilled. Common sense should tell you that bare flesh is vulnerable. Beach wear belongs on the beach
Oo sorry!
It does look like she is just wearing a bra and has forgotten her jumper but each to their own . I once flew in a shell suit in the early 90s 😂
ThomasCookUK I’m confused, are we supporting feminism this week or sending women back to the dark ages?
I would sit next to her.
What you guys aren’t seeing is this , the arseless chaps , the captain s got an eyeful
Dealt with badly but the woman doesn't know how to dress for occasions.
Breaking Britain's new modesty laws?
But if she turned up pissed
Nice compo face, nice tiddies. CompoFace
JamesDelingpole ThomasCookUK That’s your company off my list of holiday providers this year! Disgusting...
It is only March love .. pop a cardie on.
I think sky news is missing something here, she was flying from Birminghamistan. There’s a majority from a certain religion/ culture who r easily offended! Just saying
She wasn’t naked! A man can travel wearing a tank top and shorts , that’s ok for everybody! A woman has to cover up herself otherwise is a flirty lady for men! ThomasCookUK 👎👎 let’s wake up we are in UE not in Saudi Arabia.
I can't comment on her clothing because I'm maintaining eye contact.
They’ve got a point
Snowflake society we live in now I’m afraid 😟
JamesDelingpole The only reason she should cover up is to stop middle-aged women like me feeling jealous (and nostalgic for the days when we could wear stuff like that!).
She should cover up so should everyone else..its not expected any where else in close proximity
Dealt with badly but quite rightly told to cover up! Ridiculous attire.
JamesDelingpole Yes, Thomas Cook behaved in an unacceptable manor. Yes, wearing what equates to a bra on a flight does demonstrate a lack of decorum.
I've seen people with their manky bare feet up on chair arms before and staff say nothing. This sounds like a 'blasphemy' related thing... although I concede more info needed.
She looks fine. She’s young, fit and tattoo free. From the headline I was expecting a monster in a crop top.
I think those clothes are not proper to take a plane!!! We are loosing the sight on how to dress for certain ocassions!!!
Because if that I’ll not travel with them again.
I'm sure we are going back in time
I'd be more concerned if someone got on the plane fully covered over. But then that might be seen nowadays as being ' racist ' common sense must prevail.
Should have left the bra for the beach not the plane
JamesDelingpole Can we know more about the person who complained? Very curious.
JamesDelingpole Why on earth would they apologise to her, for empowering her? (That's what making women cover themselves up does for them, right?)
I would say that she looks very nice I think they should take a closer look at some of the smelly people on flights. They are worst.
Did a follower of the religion of peace feel offended?
Surely they have been guilty of racial and sexual descrimination?
WMcHBg Where is she flying to next?
Another day another pathetic apology for a pathetic reason because a tiny minority may be offended if an apology isn’t offered or offended by the reason the apology was offered , what a pathetic society we’ve become
JamesDelingpole If you're at Birmingham airport you need to respect the local culture. She should have had a burka on or a hijab at least.
JamesDelingpole ThomasCookUK appalling treatment. It shows your company training is not good enough.
Birmingham airport - just sayin 🤔
JamesDelingpole Don't go to the airport in a bra and this doesn't happen.
Why would just one man have so much to say about a Young ladies style of dress ?
Debatable but does look like she’s travelling in a Bra 😩
You guys are Hypocrites. One day you say freedom, the next day no freedom. Decency is important everywhere, nudity destroys people. Go to American prisons and ask. Nudity leads to rape.
So you should ! nothing wrong with her dress and you can not say she is showing her boobs !
So she should put on a jacket. Shaking my arse. After the compo probably
hmm who would complain about a woman being incorrectly dressed but ignore a man in a vest top and shorts ... 🤔🤔
Apart from the dodgy pants she looks ok to me
It's practicality a bra. She'd put people off their lunch.
I’ve seen more revealing clothing in church. Massive overreaction from staff. Ridiculous 🙄
JamesDelingpole If thats the “worst experience of her life” she needs to get out more. Snowflake!
She should dress more appropriate
maybe she should dress appropriately in the first place.
That’s should be a manner when u not event in your own room.
Well she was travelling from Birminghamistan!
What is wrong with that I’ll rather watch her then watch some fat person eatting a sandwich with crumps down they shirt
Absolutely disgusting, I thought we lived in a western democracy. I hope she sues Thomas Cook.
cute girl
I wear the same thing when i go mountain climbing
No one would have apologised if it were me told to cover up.
She should have more sense than to board a flight minimally dressed.
I'd be left shaking too if I was wearing this in this weather.
Soon in this world you won’t be able to breath, talk or walk a certain way! Fucking joke it’s becoming
