Spirit Airlines issued an apology after putting a six-year-old unaccompanied minor on the wrong flight.
The child was set to fly on Thursday from Philadelphia International Airport to Southwest Florida International Airport in Fort Myers, Florida, to visit his grandmother, WINK-TV reported.
Instead, the boy was “incorrectly boarded” on a flight to Orlando, Spirit acknowledged in a statement on Saturday.
The statement did not address how the error came to take place - during a busy holiday travel day.
Its the fault of the parents. Anyone who thinks that a 6 year old is capable of handling the airline experience is a moron.
No it isn’t. Airlines have systems for this, the kid is supposed to be accompanied by staff.
It makes no difference who accompanies them if its not their parent or gaurdian.
Do you also believe daycare should be banned?
Only parents or guardians are ever allowed to look after kids? Just give it up, you sound ridiculous.
I guess you never let you kid out of sight, like at school or daycare?
My son has been flying unaccompanied since he was 6. Once a year, almost every year. It’s fine, I accompanied him to the gate where he is handed off to a flight attendant. It’s not some huge traumatizing experience you’re imagining. He loved it, too, cause there were usually other kids on the plane to play with.
It’s your fault for not understanding how the UM system works, which makes you a massive moron.
