Spirit Airlines put a 6-year-old on the wrong flight and flew him 160 miles away from his family

• A 6-year-old boy traveling alone was put on the wrong Spirit Airlines flight.
• He landed at Orlando instead of his intended destination of Fort Myers, Florida.
• The boy's grandmother said she wants answers about how the mix-up happened.

Spirit Airlines apologized after it accidentally put an unaccompanied six-year-old on the wrong flight and flew him more than 160 miles away from his family.

The boy's grandmother, Maria Ramos, told Wink News that she was informed her grandson Casper had missed his flight from Philadelphia to Fort Myers, Florida, on Thursday.

"They told me, 'No, he's not on this flight. He missed his flight.' I said, 'No, he could not miss his flight because I have the check-in tag," she said.
