Woman walks through airport wearing just bikini – and a face mask

"At least she's wearing a mask"

A woman has been filmed walking through a US airport in just a bikini. But don't worry - she was wearing a face mask as well. A video of the strange scene was posted to an Instagram account called Humans of Spirit Airlines on Thursday and shows the blonde passenger walking through an airport terminal, with just a green bikini on and a backpack slung over her shoulder. The caption on the video reads: "When you have a pool party at noon and a Spirit Airlines flight to catch at 4pm." The post says "At least she's wearing a mask," and the video has already racked up almost 8,000 views. The US Federal Aviation Administration says that all air passengers over the age of two have to wear a face mask while in any American airport and on all flights. This law will be in place until at least January 18 next year. Related links:

Anyone found to break the rule can be fined anywhere from $250 to $1,500, so it's maybe understandable that the woman in the video has prioritised a face mask over clothes. It's not clear whether the woman was actually boarding a Spirit Airlines flight, which has become known online for the eccentric and wacky things that can take place on its flights. The airline's Contract of Carriage states that a guest "shall not be permitted to board the aircraft or may be required to leave an aircraft if that guest ... is barefoot or inadequately clothed, or whose clothing is lewd, obscene, or offensive in nature."
