Apparently the stowaway got there first and then they had trouble with the girl’s ticket...............
How is this any different than giving an illegal a voucher good for any flight to any where in the US?
“The stowaway - 26-year-old Wicliff Yves Fleurizard...”
Haitian?
Probably more difficult to Xerox someone else’s ticket without them noticing than to photograph it.
Most likely..................
just like a squatter squatting...except on a plane.
I’m pretty sure Fleurizard is a Pokemon.
Was that wrong? Should I not have done that?
HUH? It scans or it don't.
That should be a clue......................
Yeah, you can photocopy tickets, but they are often printed on a coated or watermarked paper which isn't so easy to duplicate.
Years ago we had something like this with Clemson football tickets. Idiots would post pics their tickets online to try sell them. Only thing was they didn’t obscure the barcode. End results were predictable. Several people came with that barcode trying to get in the game. IIRC the first people to use that barcode got in.
Friends gave me tickets and it was through approved apps. Showing them on my phone at the stadium was easy. Paper tickets are still used but being phased out.
You must be a racist as the scribe claimed he was Texan. The correct answer to whether kittens who are either born in an apple box or manage to climb into one is that they are, indeed, apples. Off to the Gulag with you! < / sarcasm >
I also think about that when using ticket apps. Next time I do that I’ll see if there’s some legit backstop I can use.
Wicliff Yves “Tex” Fleurizard....................................
” ... Fleurizard ...is currently being detained in Salt Lake County and is also reported as having an active warrant in Austin, Texas. While the nature of the warrant was not confirmed, Austin police have described him as having ‘violent tendencies’.”
Nice.
He was given a “Companion Pass” by a Southwest employee.
That means he had to fly standby on Southwest. When he checked in to the airport at the Southwest ticket counter, he was given a ticket that said “standby.” That ticket got him through security.
When two Southwest flights were full, as a standby passenger, he wasn’t given a seat. He saw that Delta also had a flight going to Austin. At the Delta gate, he took a photo of someone’s QR code with his cell phone. When boarding, he simply held his phone to the scanner, and he was allowed to board.
Turned out, the flight was full. If there was an empty seat, he would have been on his way. How slick. Something tells me he’s done this before.
I’m assuming the Southwest employee will lose his benefits or be fired. Employees are responsible for their family members and friends to whom they give passes.
