United Airlines Passenger Mistakenly Flies to Japan Instead of Nicaragua
A United Airlines passenger intending to fly from Los Angeles to Managua, Nicaragua, accidentally boarded a flight to Tokyo, Japan. The traveler realized the mistake six hours into the flight, which was supposed to be a three-hour journey to Houston, Texas, before continuing to Managua. Upon arrival in Japan, United Airlines arranged for the passenger to return to Los Angeles and restart his journey, resulting in a two-day delay. The passenger submitted $1,095 in expenses for hotel stays and necessities, as his luggage was sent to Managua. Initially offered a $300 travel credit, the passenger received $1,000 in travel credits after media involvement.
