A man was banned from boarding a British Airways flight from Reykjavík to London because he wore eight pairs of trousers and ten shirts. He was later arrested, after trying to board a plane while wearing an excessive amount of clothes to avoid excess luggage fees.

If airlines allow fat people to take two seats without paying for both seats, I am not sure why you cannot wear all your clothing (if you do not mind looking foolish and being really hot and uncomfortable). Perhaps trying to circumvent luggage fees by exercising creativity is a breach of airline policy.

If he made it through security with all those layers then I don't see how the airline has a right to deny him. Unless there is a policy that clearly states the allowed numbered of layers he did nothing wrong. I'm guessing he was trying to prove a point and making a scene if he got arrested. I'm sure

Reykjavik is cold but eight pairs of pants cold? I doubt it. He could have worn half of that shit and not drawn attention to himself. Or just acted like an adult and paid an extra 40USD or whatever and checked his bag. Hard to feel sorry for him, seems like an attention whore.

I know at least in the US, at the gate they can deny you boarding for not being dressed appropriately. I know this because recently they denied some girls from boarding who were wearing yoga pants.

True, but those two were flying on an employee pass - United was stricter with them probably out of some company policy shtick.
