Delta Sends Unaccompanied Minors to Wrong Cities

Matthew Klint Posted onJune 10, 2010 Leave a Comment

First dogs, now kids on Delta.

Delta Airlines says a paperwork mix-up resulted in a boy being sent to Cleveland and a girl being flown to Boston by mistake.

Can you imagine waiting for Jimmy in Boston and Sally shows up instead?

Paul Skrbec, a spokesman for the airline, said both children were "under airline supervision at all times" Wednesday — when the boy was flown to Cleveland instead of Boston and the girl wound up in Boston instead of Cleveland…

Skrbec said mix-ups like the one at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport" exceedingly rare," the newspaper reported. He said the airline refunded the ticket price and gave the kids credit for future flights.

I should hope that such incidents are exceedingly rare. I’m surprised that stingy Delta refunded the tickets and provided credit for a future flight, but I think that was the only appropriate response. 

"We immediately contacted their guardians that they were rerouted," he said.

Rerouted. Right…

Will the children earn Skymiles for the extra flight?
