"Teen's Solo Flight Diverted: From Tampa to Cleveland, Ends Up in Puerto Rico"

Logan Lose, a 16-year-old from Florida, boarded the wrong Frontier Airlines flight and ended up in Puerto Rico instead of Cleveland, where he intended to spend the holidays with his mother. The mistake occurred because his boarding pass was not scanned properly, and he joined a line he thought was for his flight. Upon realizing the error, he contacted his family, who were anxious about his unexpected detour. Frontier Airlines arranged for his return to Florida and then to Cleveland, offering the family a voucher, which was declined. The family is considering legal action, and Frontier has apologized for the incident. Logan is relieved to be with his family but apprehensive about future flights.

Florida Teen's Solo Flight to Cleveland Goes Awry, Lands in Puerto Rico Instead

A 16-year-old Florida teen, Logan Lose, on his first solo flight, was supposed to fly from Tampa to Cleveland on Frontier Airlines but ended up in Puerto Rico due to a boarding error. The gate for his intended flight was the same as for a flight to San Juan, and without his ticket being properly scanned, he boarded the wrong plane. Frontier Airlines confirmed the mistake and flew him back to Tampa, later accommodating him on a flight to Cleveland. The family was offered a $200 voucher but is seeking greater accountability from the airline.

Both airlines have since addressed the incidents, with Spirit firing the responsible gate agent.

"Teen Mistakenly Boards Flight to Puerto Rico Instead of Ohio"

This event occurred shortly after a similar incident involving a six-year-old on a Spirit Airlines flight.

"Indians Repatriated Amid 'Donkey Flight' Trafficking Probe"

Gujarat police are investigating a case involving a two-year-old boy from Gujarat who was found unaccompanied on a flight grounded in France over human trafficking suspicions. The flight, which was carrying 303 passengers, was suspected of being part of a smuggling operation where agents create fake families to improve chances of obtaining US asylum. The child is currently untraceable, and the investigation is looking into whether his situation is linked to the trend of unaccompanied Indian children being abandoned on US borders, which has seen a significant increase in recent years.

"Frontier Airlines Mistakenly Sends Unaccompanied Minor to Puerto Rico Instead of Cleveland"

A 16-year-old boy, Logan Lose, flying unaccompanied on Frontier Airlines from Tampa to Cleveland to visit his mother for Christmas was mistakenly flown to Puerto Rico due to a boarding error.

After landing in Puerto Rico and contacting his family in distress, Frontier acknowledged the mistake and flew him back to Tampa, then to Cleveland the next day. The airline offered a $200 travel voucher and an apology, but the boy's father is seeking greater accountability from the airline, which does not have a program for escorting unaccompanied minors.
