There’s are many reasons as to why I hate flying and I’ve been on flights with unaccompanied minors too witness flight attendants handle these children with care. But for a flight to allow an unaccompanied minor to board a flight and then remove him because it’s overbooked is crazy.

Minor Left Behind at Airport After Overbooked Flight – By Janeen Christoff / July 21 2017
