An airline mix-up caused a little boy to end up at the wrong airport, four hours away from his grandmother.
The 6-year-old, was flying as an unaccompanied minor with Spirit Airlines. He took off from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and was supposed to land in Fort Myers, Florida. Instead, he ended up in Orlando, Florida.
The grandmother said Spirit Airlines offered to have a driver take Casper to Fort Myers. She declined and drove over three-and-a-half hours to pick him up. Spirit Airlines also issued a statement, apologizing to the family.

![Suspects for Commercial Burglary in the 9th District [VIDEO] – Blotter](https://i0.wp.com/www.phillynewsnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Commercial-Burglary-250-S-16th-St-DC-23-09-013420.jpg?resize=100%2C100&ssl=1 "Suspects for Commercial Burglary in the 9th District [VIDEO] – Blotter")
A real-life "Home Alone 2: Lost In New York".
In shared custody situations, and seeing extended family, people don't have the money to buy 3 tickets to visit family or their other parent in a custody situation. The airlines – Like a DAYCARE promise they will supervise and accompany the child from airport entrance to the plane seat. If you'd leave your 6 year old at day care, you can have a worker trained for it accompany them from airport to airport so they can be picked up by their mom, dad, or grandparent.
If a daycare lost your child, you'd blame the daycare or the worker, not the parents. Granted if it was Spirit daycare, I might blame the parents. I'm not leaving my kids on a spirit unaccompanied flight. You get what you pay for.
You put a child on a plane UNACCOMPANIED on SPIRIT AIRLINES
I hope the family get money back.
The inflight operations VP Tina needs to be fired immediately! Hold this airline accountable and demand her resignation!
Glad she made the video for others not to do the same thing. By reading the comments I don’t think they will be able to win a lawsuit of a jury of 12. Glad the grandmother went to get him. Don’t trust drivers either.
This is the problem when nothing actually happens to the airlines! But that person that was fired actually was probably just doing what she was told to do! Both flight attendants crew from both flights should be suspended and the 2 of the gates!
airlines "lose" luggage!
i already heard they lose kiddos😢😢
Insane how the Biden Administration can fly thousands of unaccompanied minors to everyone who purchased those kids, yet an airline can't do one.
Everyone… it's not parents. It's "parent". Singular
Who the he11 puts a 6 year old on a plane alone?
Oh yeah, ratchet mom does
I just love how some parents don't take responsibility for anything these days 🤨
No one cares anymore. Wait, they didn't even fly the child to the correct destination for the error??? The same idiot that screws up your fast food order, are the same people working for the airlines, in the air traffic control tower, and flying the planes. Ground and air accidents will get worse. Long downward spiral of a corrupted society.
.
Sue!
First of all, why TF is this child traveling alone?
Well thats your fault for choosing the shittiest airline in america. I flew with the once and never again. They sont care about visitors
PRAISE JEHOVAH COVERED HIM & KEPT HIM SAFE!!!
Sends kid that can't even read on a solo flight with Spirit. Tries to blames Spirit in an attempt to get free money. Nice try but we see what you're doing. No one is stupid enough to send a 6 yearold to fly solo. The amount of stupid just doesnt exist in real life.
These parents are irresponsible for making that child fly alone. 6 years old is too young to be traveling alone. Now blaming the airline for parents own incompetence.
if i had kids id never let them fly alone if the plane crashed id never forgive my self.
Ain’t no way that child was with a flight attendant like he’s supposed to had been. The attendant was supposed to get him from the gate. How did mom allow her son to get on the wrong flight. She supposed to stand there until the flight takes off. They’re supposed to scan his badge. Sound like a law suit. I would never put my child on spirit alone. I don’t even trust them with my luggage 😮💨 so glad that baby had his own phone.
