In a story that reminded us of Home Alone, a six-year-old boy flew alone to the wrong city in the United States after he incorrectly boarded a Spirit Airlines plane. Casper was traveling from Philadelphia to meet his grandmother in Fort Myers, Florida.
Home Alone style
The big problem is that Casper ended up in Orlando, a four-hour drive from Fort Myers, after being mistakenly put on the wrong plane. Spirit Airlines apologized and offered to reimburse the grandmother for the trip to pick up the child.
Casper was due to travel from Philadelphia International Airport to Southwest Florida International Airport in Fort Myers on Thursday to meet his grandmother, Maria Ramos. However, in a scene very similar to Home Alone 2, when Kevin gets on the wrong flight, leaving him stranded far from his family on Christmas, Casper is placed on a plane to Orlando, which is 160 miles from Fort Myers.
After the plane, she was supposed to be on landed and his grandson was not on it, Mrs. Ramos panicked. “I ran on the plane to the flight attendant and asked her, ‘Where is my grandson? Was he delivered to you in Philadelphia?’” the grandmother told a television station in Fort Myers.
She said the flight attendant responded, “No, I didn’t have children with me.” Fortunately, Casper managed to call his grandmother shortly after landing in Orlando. Grandma drove from Fort Myers to pick up her grandson.
“I want you to call me and tell me how my grandson ended up in Orlando. How did that happen? Did they take him off the plane? Did he get on the wrong plane by himself? ”was what Grandma asked when she realized what had happened.
Spirit Airlines apologized and said in a statement: “We take the safety and responsibility of transporting all of our passengers seriously and are conducting an internal investigation. We apologize to the family for this experience.”
When the story became a social media trend, thousands of people remembered Kevin in Home Alone when his family boarded a flight to Miami and he ended up in New York.
