Fitness Influencer Says Lufthansa Told Her She Was "Naked" And Made Her Cover Up To Board

Fitness influencer says Lufthansa told her she was “naked” and made her cover up to board describes a dispute at a Berlin departure gate involving Edda Elisa, a fitness influencer. She reported being prevented from boarding a Lufthansa Group flight bound for Austria because she wore a sports-bra style crop top and tight cycling shorts meant to keep her cool in hot weather. At the gate, she said staff told her she “cannot board,” asserting she was “naked” and that she needed to put on “normal clothes.” After being pulled aside, she retrieved a hoodie from her carry-on and fully zipped it, after which she was allowed to board. She later claimed staff blamed her for delaying the flight. Lufthansa Group said passengers should wear clothing appropriate for public travel and that staff discretion applies, adding that the specific wording reported does not meet its standards. The account was shared in German via Instagram.
