Delta Airlines shades United Airlines for denying passengers entry into airplane because they wore leggings

Even airlines know how to shade their

competitors! United Airlines caused

an outrage after they refused a 10-year-old

girl and an 11 year old from boarding their

flight because they wore which they

considered inappropriate dressing. They also

banned two others from entering for the

same reason and after a passenger shared

what had happened on Twitter, celebrities like

Chrissy Teigen called them out and threatened

to boycott the airline.



In spite of that, United Airlines still defended

their decision and said it was only

representatives of the company and their

families who were held to those standards

because they get free employee pass tickets

and are bound by the dress code. Their action

led to the creation of the hashtag

#LeggingsGate.



Now, Delta Airlines have weighed in on the

saga by subtly throwing shade at their

embattled competitor. "Flying Delta means

comfort. (That means you can wear your

leggings)" Delta tweeted and added a wink

emoticon.
