United Mixup Sends Disabled Octogenarian Across Country

On Tuesday, 80-year-old flyer Maria Larios was accidentally flown to Denver instead of her intended destination of Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU) after being allowed to board the wrong flight.

“How is it possible that a woman got on a plane that she did not have a boarding pass for and is now in another state?” Paradis said.

Larios’ family claims to have made special accommodations for Larios, who is partially blind and does not speak English, that were not honored.

It sounds like the woman or her relatives should have paid for a service to assist her in meeting her connection, if she was unable take care of herself.

Well, everything is in this short text. The pax is blind, couldn't obviously read the BP and got into the wrong flight. UA didn't deplane her to avoid being accused of another dragGate. UA is absolutely at no fault. Perfect as always.
