Hindi pinayagan ang isang female passenger na makasakay ng eroplano matapos ang kanyang cosmetic procedure.
Hindi rin umubra ang dala-dala niyang medical clearance.
Ang desisyon ng airline ay para raw sa kaligtasan ng passenger.
Ito ang naranasan ni Shataria Banks, na uuwi na sana sa Houston, Texas, mula sa Miami International Airport noong July 23, 2025, ulat ng CBS Miami.
Himutok ni Shataria experience niya with Spirit Airline, isang low-cost American airline: “Even though I have my medical clearance, even though my doctor clear me, you still restricted me to fly."
Naka-indicate sa medical clearance ng doktor ni Shataria na fit siyang bumiyahe matapos isinailalim sa “thorough assessment.”
Ilang araw namalagi si Shataria sa Miami para sa isang cosmetic surgery, na hindi na niya sinabi ang specifics.

PASSENGER TAKES VIDEO OF ARGUMENT
Kinunan ng video ni Shataria ang pakikipagsagutan niya sa airport personnel sa check-in counter.
Tinanong niya ito kung may nakalagay bang medical policy online na puwedeng mabasa ng mga pasahero bago sila mag-book ng flight.
“We have a procedure that we have to follow,” sagot ng personnel kay Shataria. “It’s about your safety.”
Sinabi rin umano sa kanya ng personnel na walang official policy in writing ang airline.
“I’m not saying that [the airline] can’t deny their travelers and they’re [not] looking out for their safety, but have something in place, because everybody don’t have money to waste for a new flight," ani Shataria sa CBS Miami.
