At 16, he should have heard the on-board announcement before the plane took off.
He was probably plugged to his phone listening to some garbage or playing a video game.
At 16, he should have looked at the flight information boards and gone to the right gate to begin with. I knew how airports worked a lot younger than that, in fact way back when the information was posted on actual boards and not TV screens.
Also, the information board in front of the gate should have been a clue. It shows the destination also.
Yep. Tuned out, in one form or another. Also, considering it was a 16 year-old, it’s hardly a “nightmare” as the the headline suggests...
At 16, likely playing games on phone or watching TikTok important stuff, and headphones/ear buds. Kid won a trip to a new destination!
Yeah, his life skill set lacking situational awareness. He didn’t get killed for his stupidity. Or the lack of the boarding agent doing his job.
It was mostly the kid's fault.
He showed up at the gate two hours early when the gate was servicing the flight to PR.
Sure his phone ticket should have been scanned, but does the kid think each gate is reserved for one plane per day?
