Yeah, I'm going to put my child on something that's a cross between Greyhound and Fight Club.
"Spirit Airlines, flying people who have no business being on an airplane since 1983"
Oops.
Yeah, but they did put the kid on a plane, so it’s all good.
In fairness to Spirit Airlines, there is an additional fee to put a child on the correct flight.
I wouldn’t make my worst enemy fly unaccompanied on Spirit, much less my kid.
Spirited away
On the bright side, the kid will have a GREAT story to tell friends, mom & dad, his own kids and his grandkids. “I remember back in ‘23 when they put me on the wrong plane...and I landed in Zimbabwe!”
The child was always under the care and supervision of a Spirit Team Member, and as soon as we discovered the error, we took immediate steps to communicate with the family and reconnect them,” Spirit said in a statement Saturday.
If this is true, then how could the child being supervised end up on the wrong flight?
I saw a documentary about this - about a kid who wound up in NY city, stayed at the plaza hotel and battled against two criminals.
I was four years old and flew unaccompanied from NY to Burbank in 1950. Didn’t want to get off the plane when I arrived. But it was TWA, not Spirit.
that airline is still allowed to fly in USA?
we will NEVER patronize them again after they failed to tell an entire plane load of PAID ticket=holders that they “cancelled the flight” MONTHS IN ADVANCE
we were all stranded at the airport ... fortunately, the workers at a neighboring airline’s counter took pity on us all and worked very diligently to find all of us flights on other airlines. We would up flying to another city but it was within 100 miles or so. It cost us over $2000 a ticket more (since it was necessarily a LAST MINUTE reservation) but we had to get there to deliver an eulogy at a church memorial service, otherwise we would have just gone home
Spirit never refunded us the loss.
And their website showed the flight as active ALL THE WHILE.
We will NEVER attempt to fly on that airline again, never ever.
I call them Ghetto Airlines.
This happens more than you might know.
We put my mother, who had some mental memory problems, on a flight from Seattle to Spokane and we were there when she was escorted to the plane as an early boarder in a wheel chair.
When they landed the flight in Spokane, they neither escorted her off or allowed my sister to go to the plane to look for her. The plane was going to be cleaned and had a break in flying time so my mother sat in the plane for over an hour alone, a lot of it, until she was discovered and escorted to her daughter by the maintenance crew. She did ask while seated on the ground how to get off the plane but was not assisted nor was the preordered wheel chair taken to the aircraft entrance.
I used to brief my troops to always figure out the worst way that people can do something stupid and don’t be surprised if they beat you.

LOL! Never fly Spirit. Never!
The youth can hitch a ride from Orlando to ft Myers, surely.
I was on a flight to Mobile, Alabama many years ago.
As we were approaching the airport, I noticed some complexes looked much larger than I expected.
They announced were landing in Miami, Florida. At least 15-20 people exclaimed “Miami! We’re supposed to be in Mobile, AL”
They had led us across the tarmac to the wrong airplane when we boarded.
With the HUGE AMOUNT of child trafficking going on with our Open Borders, putting a kid on a wrong flight is no big deal, as there will always be some adult ready to ‘pick him up’ on the other end.
So Spirit probably got confused and figured it was simply more NGO/Catholic/US Gov child trafficking going on.
Kevin!
Maybe he didn’t want to go to Grandma’s. Has anyone at NBC thought about this.
