A TikTok user known as “KAY ROSE 🌹” shared a storytime video recounting an incident on a Delta Airlines flight. She alleged that a flight attendant confronted her about her outfit and later told her she was not following protocol. The creator, whose handle is @kayymrose, did not specify the exact date of the flight.
In the video, she stated that she was wearing a tank top and had not been wearing a bra. She said she wore tank tops on planes because she experiences anxiety and panic attacks that cause her to sweat, making hoodies or sweaters unbearable. She said she was traveling with a friend named Anna.
The creator began her story by mentioning that TSA had lost her wallet, forcing her to crawl under a conveyor belt to retrieve it. She said that as she boarded her flight to New York, no one at the TSA checkpoint or the Delta front desk commented on her clothing.
Flight attendant allegedly stopped her and requested she cover up
According to the creator’s account, the incident began as she walked past first class. She claimed a flight attendant stopped her and asked, “Do you have a blanket or a sweater?” When the creator replied she had a blanket, the flight attendant allegedly asked her to put it on. The creator said she complied without question, assuming the request was related to her tank top.
After taking her window seat, the creator said the flight attendant approached her again. She claimed the flight attendant addressed her by name and said, “You told me you were gonna put a sweater on and you didn’t follow protocol. Are you refusing to follow the protocol?” The creator stated she responded that she never said she had a sweater, only a blanket.
The creator said she demanded an explanation of which protocol she was breaking. When the flight attendant suggested a private conversation, the creator claimed she refused, stating, “If you got the balls to do that, you got the balls to say it right out loud.” The creator maintained the flight attendant never provided a reason for the dress code violation. The creator maintained the flight attendant never provided a reason for the dress code violation, a dispute similar to one where a woman switching to an empty row on a Southwest flight was threatened with removal by the flight attendant.
The creator said she then borrowed a cardigan from her friend Anna, who was also wearing a tank top. She wore the unbuttoned cardigan for the remainder of the flight. She claimed the flight attendant, whom she identified as “Barbie,” did not speak to her again.
Creator says she reviewed Delta’s policy and plans to file a complaint
The creator stated that she later looked up Delta’s dress code policy. She said it prohibits pajamas, swimsuits, and sports bras. She claimed she was not wearing any of those items. She also stated that half the flight was wearing pajamas and booty shorts, and that no one else was approached. Delta’s dress code enforcement can lead to confrontations over attire, as a friend group was recently turned away from a Miami restaurant for violating its dress code.
The creator said she plans to file a formal complaint with Delta. She alleged the flight attendant’s actions were motivated by jealousy, stating, “I think it was because jealousy, because she saw these cat depths and she was like, ‘Mmm, don’t like that girl.'” She did not clarify what “cat depths” referred to.
The video was posted in response to a user comment requesting a story time. The caption read, “Replying to @Cami P @delta I’ll be waiting for a response to this 🙂 #delta #deltaairlines #dresscode #airportdresscode #airportoutfit.” The video’s on-screen text included “MY AIRPORT TRAVEL OUTFIT STORYTIME.”
Comments on the video included reactions such as, “That’s actually insane.. I would send delta a complaint asap” and “The audacity these flight companies have to charge as much as they charge them pull this crap is insane.” Another comment read, “I literally had no idea flights even had dress codes like wtf?!?!” A further comment stated, “For sure a power trip.”
One commenter wrote, “Ok hearing your story that is insane- I was thinking this at least happened while you were waiting to board the plane but she harassed you while you were actively on the plane- like wtf?” The creator did not publicly respond to these comments in the provided information.
Delta Airlines has not issued a public statement regarding this specific incident as reported by the TikTok user. The company’s general customer service policy encourages customers with concerns to contact them directly. The creator’s account of the event is based on her personal perspective as shared in the video.
