Two women claim they were forced to change their clothes in public “with no cover” to board an American Airlines flight.
Passenger Chrissie Mayr tweeted about the incident, which she says happened at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas.
On 2 May, American comedian Ms Mayr shared: “Omfg an @AmericanAir employee forced me and @keanuCthompson to change our pants before getting on the flight which actually turned out to be MORE REVEALING.”
Alongside the tweet is a picture of the outfits Ms Mayr and Ms Thompson arrived at the airport wearing, alongside a snap of what they were allegedly asked to change into before boarding.
It appears that the pair’s original outfits included a maxi skirt and trousers, while they both ended up in shorts instead.
After posting: “THIS IS NO WAY TO TREAT A REWARDS MEMBER,” Ms Mayr added more information in a follow-up tweet.
“LITERALLY HAD TO CHANGE AT THE GATE WITH NO COVER,” she claimed.

People were quick to comment underneath the post, with one user writing: “Wait… what??? They made you change from left to right?”

“Because he was a creep,” Ms Mayr replied.
Ms Mayr’s travelling companion Ms Thompson then alleged: “He had Chrissie in underwear and me butt f**king naked from my waist down at the gate…. How is this okay?”
