United airlines flying dress code row

The American carrier United Airlines has found itself at the centre of a social media firestorm for, according to reports, preventing two young girls, one aged just 10 years old, from flying because they were wearing leggings. The children were apparently travelling on discount tickets issued to staff and their families, and United says a dress code applies for such travellers. United says normal paying customers are free to wear leggings if that's what they want to do. Jennifer Cox is a travel writer and broadcaster. The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Alex Ritson asked her if United Airlines had got it wrong.
