Ever get that crushing fear you’ll miss your flight even though you’re at the airport hours early and through security without an issue?<\/p>\n

Well, imagine how you’d feel if the clothes you were wearing nearly led to you not getting away for a holiday<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That’s what nearly happened to German influencer Edda Pilz, who has claimed she was refused entry onto a flight due to her outfit<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Known on social media<\/a> as Edda Elisa, she’s shared that she wasn’t allowed to board the plane as staff apparently told her she looked ‘naked’.<\/p>\n

The content creator, who boasts over 552k followers on Instagram<\/a> alone, was wearing shorts and a crop top in a bid to keep cool in the heatwave<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It’s not just the United Kingdom that is reeling in ridiculously hot temperatures<\/a> this week, with the mercury soaring across Europe as well.<\/p>\n

So much so that the UK<\/a> Foreign Office had to give travel advice for those heading to tourist hotspots Spain, France and Portugal<\/a>.<\/p>\n

25-year-old Edda was wearing the sports attire as she attempted to board a Lufthansa flight, with temperatures rising higher than 30C, reports the Mirror<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Yet, she claims, she was denied entry, speaking in an Instagram video<\/a> posted earlier this week from an airport baggage hall.<\/p>\n

As Edda tried to scan her boarding pass, she said a representative told her: “You cannot board.”<\/p>\n

‘You are naked’<\/p>\n

\u201cYou have nothing on. You are naked,” she then claimed she was told, after asking why she wasn’t being allowed on the flight.<\/p>\n

The influencer was apparently then told to cover up, instructions she followed.<\/p>\n

Edda put on a hoody and zipped it to the top. She was then finally allowed to enter the plane and take her seat.<\/p>\n

Lufthansa told LADbible that it reviews all incidents involving passengers who have possibly had an irregular interaction with staff, dealing with the matters internally.<\/p>\n

“Lufthansa takes indications of potential irregularities in the way passengers are handled very seriously and reviews such incidents internally,” a spokesperson for the airline said.<\/p>\n

However, Lufthansa insisted that employees can act with ‘due discretion’ when ensuring passengers adhere to their rules on an aircraft.<\/p>\n

The spokesperson continued: “As a general principle, Lufthansa expects all passengers to wear clothing appropriate to the nature of public travel and not to impair the well-being of fellow passengers from a wide range of countries.<\/p>\n

“This expectation forms part of our General Conditions of Carriage. Our employees act on this basis with due discretion and within the scope of their judgment.”<\/p>\n

Airlines worldwide reserve the right to deny the wearing of ‘offensive or ‘inappropriate’ attire on their flights.<\/p>\n
