Passenger "too pale" to fly

A 14-year-old UK girl was prevented from boarding a flight to Maldives with her family temporarily, because staff at the gate were concerned by her paleness and the way she was leaning against her mother while waiting to board that she may have been ill.

Quote:

Wain, her parents and siblings were leaving Manchester, England (also not the home of the World's Tannest People) for the sultry Maldives, when the gate agents expressed their concerns about Wain's health.

Her parents insisted that she wasn't sick, just Scottish, but the airline insisted on written proof that she was healthy enough to go on vacation. The family dragged Grace to an airport paramedic who reportedly looked her over and gave the girl a thumbs up to fly.

That wasn't enough for Etihad employees, who said they needed a written letter from Grace's doctor. Somehow, the family tracked down their doctor, who literally wrote a one-sentence note assuring Etihad that there was no reason that Grace shouldn't be allowed to travel.
