Teen traveling to Ohio, takes wrong flight to Puerto Rico
Another young traveler has ended up miles from their intended destination.
Following Spirit Airlines’ recent mishap of putting an unaccompanied six-year old on the wrong flight, Frontier Airlines has allowed a similar error.
This time a 16-year-old traveling alone for the first time from Tampa managed to board what he thought was a Cleveland-bound flight but ended up in Puerto Rico.
Both flights left from the same gate, with the San Juan flight departing first.
“Frontier has extended its sincere apologies for the error,” Jennifer de la Cruz, Frontier director of corporate communications, said.
The father of 16-year-old Logan Lose, said the boy was nervous about flying by himself for the first time.
He said his boarding pass wasn’t scanned at the gate.
“Logan said they just glanced at it and said, ‘Yes, you’re on the right flight,’ and then he boarded.”
The airline said Logan ‘was immediately flown back to Tampa on the same aircraft and accommodated on a flight to Cleveland the following day.’
An unaccompanied six-year-old child flying with Spirit Airlines was recently put on the wrong flight to Orlando instead of Fort Myers, Florida.
The airline employee responsible for this has been reportedly dismissed.
