American Airlines has apologised after allegedly telling a female passenger travelling from Jamaica to wrap herself in a blanket to hide her outfit.
Dr. Tisha Rowe said the incident happened on June 30 on a flight to Miami from a family holiday in Jamaica.
The 37 year old said online she felt body-shamed and humiliated.
A tweet she shared of the playsuit she was wearing has been shared thousands of times.
Dr. Rowe was flying from Kingston with her eight year old son when the incident occurred.
She alleged a flight attendant first asked her to step off the plane, then described her outfit as inappropriate to fly and asked if she had a jacket to cover up with.
On Tuesday, American Airlines said it apologised to Dr. Rowe and her son and refunded the cost of their travel.
