A Delta Air Lines passenger was removed from a flight departing Sarasota, Florida, due to his Donald Trump t-shirt. The shirt depicted Trump extending his middle fingers with the caption “Hawk Tuah Spit On That Thang.” After another passenger complained, airline staff instructed the man to change his shirt if he wished to fly. He initially complied by turning the shirt inside out and boarded the aircraft.

Airline passengers have long faced a choice when traveling with pets: pay a pet-in-cabin fee for small dogs or cats, which includes placing the pet underneath the seat in front and counting it as a full-sized carry-on bag, or pretend to have an emotional support animal.
