A woman has been told she was revealing too much cleavage to board a flight from Las Vegas to new York.

The woman, identified only as Avital, was wearing a cotton dress when a staff member at Southwest Airlines told her she was dressed inappropriately.

The woman ignored the staff member and boarded the flight anyway.

Speaking to The Sun, she said she couldn't understand the ruling.

"I didn't want to let the representative's big feelings about my breasts change the way I intended to board my flight," she said.

"And lo and behold, the plane didn't fall out of the sky...my cleavage did not interfere with the plane's ability to function properly."

Southwest airlines has apologised for the misunderstanding, and offered the scantily clad woman a full refund as a gesture of good faith.

However, the airline's spokeswoman stood by the need for passengers to dress appropriately.

"We simply ask that our customers use good judgement and exercise discretion in deference to other customers who depend on us to provide a comfortable travel experience."

    Just who is flying the plane? They don't even see passengers, or is it someone jealous, in a bad mood, because her husband just can't stop Staring? What if I boarded as Santa Claus? You people need to get a grip and settle the Real Issues, sizes for obese people who take up to two even three seats, causing many more people who have payed for a ticket for one, get's the armrest up and swallows you and Your seat, that you paid for becomes theirs? This has been happening for Years,without a Blink from the Major Airlines? We need to access that Huge Issue before we, waste time with a jealous woman. I'm sick and Tired of getting my seat taken up by someone who is large enough for maybe three seats? Now, there is an Issue that need dealing with NOW!
