United Airlines apologizes after accidentally placing unaccompanied 14-year-old on flight to wrong country.
A couple in Raleigh, North Carolina, are breathing a sigh of relief -- and still awaiting answers from two airlines -- after their 14-year-old son was accidentally placed on the wrong flight to a different country following a layover at Newark Liberty International Airport this weekend.
At Newark, a United representative escorting the teen brought him from Terminal C to a gate in Terminal B, where a Scandinavian flight to Stockholm originally had been scheduled to depart. "They simply failed to double and cross-reference his documents with who they perceived he was," Christer Berg told ABC News on Tuesday."The wrong kid, at the wrong gate, with the wrong airline."
"Someone contact me! …. Please let us know you have this under control," Brenda Berg tweeted."Ironically, @United if you hadn’t accompanied him, this would never have happened. He wouldn’t have counted on you to know what you were doing. #neverunitedair."
