"I heard a quick story last night on the late news and again this morning about a passenger who once he arrived at his assigned seat on an AirTran flight, found someone was in his seat with a ticket that had his name. The legitimate passenger had his ticket with his name, so it was a case of duplicates. He alerted the crew and the other man who was in his seat was taken off of the flight. So either a second ticket was issued under the same name, or someone has access to ticketing info. for flights."

What city was this??

I believe that this AirTran situation happened on a flight from Florida. It was one of those stories that you hear for one or two broadcasts and then no additional information is given. I did a number of searches for info. yesterday, and found nothing, even on the ABC website. The newscast was on an ABC affiliate.
