Family of 3-Year-Old With Cancer Begged Spirit to Hold Flight. It Left Without Them.
MIAMI — Running down the terminal at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, Delray Beach mom Talia Tallman knew she and her family were running a few minutes late for their Spirit Airlines flight to Los Angeles. But this was one flight the family couldn't miss. (www.msn.com) Más...

With all due respect to this family's unfortunate circumstances, this doesn't smell right. It sounds like a combination of bad planning - they'd done this trip previously - and simply not paying attention to the flight's status. By some miracle, the rest of the pax were able to board and settle themselves in a timely manner. I'm not buying this family's story.
I’m with you on this. If the pax did not show at the gate in time their baggage would have been offloaded per security. The mother should have carried the 3 year old with her to the gate knowing they were very late. There is a reason why airlines have schedules and advise their pax accordingly. Had they arrived at the airport as instructed on their ticket as they had done previously this would be a non event, however, still feel sorry for the 3 year old.
That's the most appalling excuse I have ever heard from an airline spokeschimp. Don't those stupid morons realize that families who travel with critically ill children as patients have very special needs. Why weren't they pre-boarded which is normal in the civilized world instead of getting this lame fzxking excuse. This sickens me because I fly terribly ill children and their families in Canada as a public service for an executive aircraft service I volunteer with. Bentwing60 does the same thing in the USA! BOYCOTT THESE BUMS!
You can’t pre-board passengers who aren’t there.
