    Home Alone 2 Replay: Young Boy Mistakenly Sent to Wrong City by Spirit Airlines

    2023-12-25
    • Six-year-old Casper, an unaccompanied minor, was mistakenly put on a Spirit Airlines flight to Orlando instead of Fort Myers, where his grandmother, Maria Ramos, awaited him.
    • Ramos, upon discovering the error, demanded explanations from Spirit Airlines, while the airline offered to reimburse her for the drive to pick Casper up from Orlando.
    • Spirit Airlines has not provided detailed information on how the mistake occurred but has issued an apology and is conducting an internal investigation.

    In a distressing incident echoing the plot of "Home Alone 2," a six-year-old boy named Casper experienced his first flight in a way no one would have expected.

    Traveling alone, he was supposed to fly from Philadelphia to Fort Myers, Florida, to visit his grandmother, Maria Ramos. However, due to an error by Spirit Airlines, he ended up in Orlando, Florida, which is a four-hour drive from his intended destination.

    Upon realizing the mistake, Ramos was in disbelief and panic, as reported to WINK. She recounted rushing to the flight attendants, only to find that they were unaware of Casper's situation. This error left Casper stranded and alone in Orlando, while his baggage somehow reached Fort Myers. The situation was complicated further when Casper informed his grandmother of his unexpected location via a phone call.

    Spirit Airlines acknowledged that Casper was "incorrectly boarded" and has offered to cover the costs for Ramos' travel to retrieve him. However, Ramos is primarily seeking answers about the mix-up, questioning the airline's procedures and how her grandson ended up on the wrong flight.

    As of now, Spirit Airlines has not provided a detailed explanation of how the mistake occurred. They have expressed apologies for the incident and confirmed that they are conducting an internal investigation to understand the mishap. Casper, traumatized by the event, has expressed reluctance to travel alone by plane again.
