A stripper from Seattle named Maggie McMuffin was flying home from Boston a few weeks ago, but Jet Blue told her she couldn’t get on the plane…because her shorts were too short. McMuffin took a picture of the shorts, and they are pretty short, but you’ve probably seen worse. The matching thigh-high socks probably didn’t help.
So she bought new shorts at the airport for $22, and then they let her fly. A Jet Blue spokesman defended their decision when the story came out. “The crew . . . determined that the burlesque shorts may offend other families on the flight.” But Maggie says that since the story started spreading, Jet Blue reached out to apologize and gave her a $200 travel voucher plus $22 for the shorts.
