Huh? If he could furnish proof of onward travel within 30 days to the Delta agent in Gainesville, then Delta should not have denied him boarding. He offered to provide an e-ticket to the DL agent, and the agent said it did not matter. This is incorrect from my understanding of the rules.
So I think DL screwed up.
FWIW, I had a similar issue with a connection to Buenos Aires via GRU. I don't need a visa, but my travelling companion would need a Brazilian Visa normally and did not have one. However provided you are in-transit the same day, you can still connect through Brazil without a visa. We provided the UA GA with the onward e-ticket information for Aerolineas Argentinas, and we were good to go.
