FILE – A Frontier Airlines plane lands at the McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas on Feb. 27, 2020.
In what appears to be an ongoing theme this holiday season a 16-year-old boy traveling by himself from Tampa, Florida, was accidentally flown to Puerto Rico, Frontier Airlines said, offering an apology to the family.
The teen was supposed to fly to Cleveland, Ohio, on a Dec. 22 flight out of Tampa International Airport but "mistakenly boarded a different flight to San Juan, Puerto Rico," a spokesperson for the airline company said.
Both flights departed from the same gate, with the San Juan flight departing first, Frontier said.
The teen was immediately flown back to Tampa and put on a flight to Cleveland the following day.
