Teen Mistakenly Flies to Puerto Rico Instead of Ohio on Solo Frontier Trip

A 16-year-old boy flying solo on Frontier Airlines from Tampa to Cleveland accidentally boarded the wrong flight and ended up in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The error occurred as two flights were boarding at the same gate. Frontier, which does not have a formal unaccompanied minor program, flew the teen back to Tampa and then to Cleveland the next day, apologizing to the family. This incident follows a similar mistake by Spirit Airlines involving a 6-year-old boy.
