Lufthansa Passenger Called 'Naked' Over Athletic Wear
1 Jul
Summary
- Passenger was called 'naked' by airline staff during boarding.
- Dispute occurred during a summer heatwave at 30 degrees Celsius.
- Passenger claims men in similar attire were allowed to board.
A 24-year-old social media influencer, Edda Elisa Pilz, recounted an alleged discriminatory incident during a Lufthansa flight boarding in Berlin. As temperatures soared to 30 degrees Celsius, Pilz, wearing a matching athletic top and shorts, was stopped from boarding. She claims a Lufthansa employee repeatedly called her "naked" and insisted she cover up her clothing.
Pilz stated she was forced to put on a jacket and zip it completely before being allowed to proceed. She expressed her disbelief at the situation, questioning the existence of a passenger dress code and highlighting the employee's perceived rude attitude. Pilz also noted that she observed male passengers wearing shorts boarding the same flight without issue.
This incident raises questions about Lufthansa's customer service standards and potential dress code policies, as their general conditions of carriage do not specify restrictions on athletic clothing. Pilz is seeking an official response from the airline regarding the employee's conduct and the airline's stance on passenger attire.
