Spirit Airlines Fires Agent for Wrongly Boarding Unaccompanied Minor

Six-year-old Casper was sent to Orlando instead of Fort Myers, prompting an internal investigation and potential legal action from the family.

Spirit Airlines has fired a gate agent who mistakenly put an unaccompanied 6-year-old boy on a flight to Orlando instead of Fort Myers.
The boy, identified as Casper, was traveling from Philadelphia to Fort Myers but ended up in Orlando, over 150 miles away from his intended destination.
Spirit Airlines has stated that the child was always under the care and supervision of an airline employee and that they are conducting an internal investigation into the incident.
The boy's grandmother, Maria Ramos, has expressed dissatisfaction with the airline's response and is considering legal options.
Spirit Airlines has offered to reimburse Ramos for her travel to Orlando to pick up her grandson and has also offered to cover the cost of Casper's return flight to Philadelphia.
