Fitness influencer banned from flight for attempting to board ‘naked’ amid record-breaking heatwave

Does Edda look naked to you? Exactly. In fact, I would gladly accompany her on any future flights as the Report is commited to the rights of it's staff. That's correct, she's our fitness editor.

I'm also calling for a reader boycott of Lufthansa Airlines which is run by a bunch of puritanical former members of the Third Reich (is that even possible). The point is I'm outraged!

BTW, brilliant way to get oneself promoted in the national press. Go girl!

Fitness influencer banned from flight for attempting to board ‘naked’ amid record-breaking heatwave

This sexy sightseer was in for a nude awakening.

Edda Elisa, a fetching fitness influencer from Germany, was denied entry on a Lufthansa flight after a gate agent allegedly accused her of being “naked” as a “catastrophic” heatwave plagues Europe.

And the blond bombshell is heated about harassment.

Edda Elisa, a fitness influencer, became furious after an airline gate agent barred her from boarding an aircraft due to her revealing outfit.

“What the f- -k?,” griped Elisa, a reality TV personality and content creator, detailing the ordeal to her over 641,000 virtual fans.

Airing out her grievances from the airport, the siren, sporting a sporty athleisure two-piece, made complete with a pair of black biker shorts and a V-cut sports bra, claimed the Lufthansa staffer, “looked at me and said, ‘You can’t board like that…You’re not wearing anything. You’re naked.’”

Unappreciative of the employee’s “tone,” an incensed Elisa argued that her causal couture was befitting of the nearly 90-degree weather outside. Her protests, however, fell on deaf ears.

“She told me I wasn’t wearing normal clothes, and that I had to put something over it now,” said Elisa. “‘You go to the side now and you can only [board the plane] once you’ve got something on.”

The smoke-show compiled, slipping into an oversized zip-up hoodie. But the no-nonsense gatekeeper was unsatisfied.

“‘No, you have to close it,’” Elisa recalled of the airline worker’s command, which came with a side of shaming and blaming. “‘And because of you [the plane] is delayed now, the whole flight is delayed because you’re holding up all the traffic.”

The head-turner claimed that she’d never heard of an airline enforcing a dress code until her unfortunate incident.

The content creator boasts over a combined 1 million fans across social media.

The German glamor girl has appeared on a number of reality television shows, including “Ex on the Beach.”

Elisa argued that she’d “never once heard anything about a dress code on a plane,” but representatives for Lufthansa say their wardrobe rules are plain and simple.

The airline stated that passengers must wear clothing “appropriate to the character of a public journey” that does not impair the well-being of fellow travelers from diverse backgrounds, according to reports.

Appropriate attire is a relatively standard statute across airlines worldwide. Violators of the garb guidelines often remain grounded.

From crop tops to itty-bitty bikinis, from going barefoot to going braless, commercial carriers have unapologetically upheld their dress code policies for decades, undeterred by social media backlash.

Still, an unyielding Elisa demanded that Lufthansa offer up an explanation for her unpleasant experience.

The airline reportedly responded, saying that the gate agents alleged use of words like “naked,” do not “correspond to our standards” and would not have been used by their staff. Lufthansa said it takes reports of inconsistencies seriously and reviews such incidents internally.

Dress code enforcement in the friendly skies isn’t just about modesty. It’s also rooted in ensuring the hygienic well-being and safety of all passengers, per flight attendant Barbara Bacilieri. The in-flight expert recently issued a fair warning to flyers about the perils of wearing skimpy outfits at 30,000 feet.

“Sure, they might look cute on Instagram, but during an evacuation, they’re a recipe for burned thighs and scraped skin,” Bacilieri said. “Sliding down that inflatable ramp with your skin exposed – ouch.”

“It’s not glamorous; it’s painful and dangerous.”
