A transgender woman who was unable to board a flight because she didn't have identification has described the experience as humiliating.
Jetstar has apologised to Darci-Lee Hume of Christchurch, who said she was due to board a flight out of Christchurch airport with a friend yesterday morning, but was not able to check in.
She told Fairfax the pair were asked to show identification by Jetstar staff. The friend used a bank card, but Miss Hume did not have any ID so was not allowed to board the flight.

Because Miss Hume is a transgender woman, her ticket was booked with the honorific "Miss".
