United Airlines helped reroute Calderón to Nicaragua — and the airline did bump up his seat to first class to make up for the mix up. He made it to his destination 48 hours after his intended arrival.

In a statement, United officials said they had reached out to the airport team to understand how this happened and had apologized to the customer for his experience, offering travel credits and reimbursement.
