An unaccompanied child wound up on a Spirit Airlines flight to the wrong city during one of the busiest travel days of the year, the airline confirmed on Sunday. The child was supposed to be traveling Thursday from Philadelphia to Fort Myers, but was "incorrectly boarded" on a flight to Orlando, a Spirit spokesperson said in a statement shared with multiple media outlets. The two Florida cities are about 160 miles apart. "The child was always under the care and supervision of a Spirit Team Member, and as soon as we discovered the error, we took immediate steps to communicate with the family and reconnect them," the airline spokesperson added. An internal investigation is reportedly underway. WINK News, a local TV outlet in Fort Myers, identified the child as a 6-year-old boy who was taking his first-ever flight to visit his grandmother, Maria Ramos. She told the outlet it was one of the scariest ordeals of her life when the flight landed without her grandson onboard.
