When O’Connor refused to change, a manager left to get her bag in order to remove her from the flight.

In an interview with The Sun, a tabloid based in the United Kingdom, O’Connor called the incident “the most sexist, misogynistic, embarrassing experience of my life.” Emily said she then put on a jacket lent by her cousin, who was also on the flight. She says was left “shaking” and upset by the incident, as comments were made over the plane’s speakers about the situation.

In a statement to The Post Wednesday, a spokesman for the airline said Thomas Cooks’s cabin services director spoke with O’Connor personally to offer an apology.

Thomas Cook in a statement said, “We are sorry that we upset Ms. O’Connor. It’s clear we could have handled the situation better. In common with most airlines, we have an appropriate attire policy. This applies equally to men and women of all ages without discrimination. Our crews have the difficult task of implementing that policy and don’t always get it right.”
