The movie 'Home Alone' comes true: a 6-year-old boy lands in another city after getting on the wrong plane

A mistake made by the American low-cost airline Spirit Airlines has caused a 6-year-old boy to become Macaulay Culkin (Home Alone) for a few hours.. According to the New York Post, the company put an unaccompanied minor under 6 years old on the wrong plane. The boy was supposed to land in Fort Mayers (Florida) to spend Christmas with his grandmother, but he landed in Orlando, 350 kilometers from his initial destination.

The grandmother, María Ramos, apparently concerned when she saw that her grandson did not arrive, asked about Casper and that was when they told her that he was not traveling on the plane.. The grandmother panicked and confronted the flight attendants who assured her that no child had traveled with them, although the child's suitcase did arrive at the expected airport.

After a few minutes of chaos, Spirit Airlines workers located Casper at the Orlando airport, a four-hour drive from Fort Mayers.. The little boy's grandmother and parents have expressed their indignation to the American network Wink-TV, saying that they do not understand “how something like this could have happened” if they filled out all the documentation and followed all the necessary steps.

“I don't understand how this could have happened and how my grandson ended up in Orlando. Did they take him off the plane to Fort Mayers? Did the flight attendant leave you alone after receiving the documentation? Did he get on the wrong plane or did they put him on?” the grandmother asked.

On the other hand, the airline has indicated in a statement on its website that they are carrying out “an internal investigation” to discover “what happened.” In addition, he has apologized to the family for that “terrible experience.”
