Woman heads to Florida winds up in Puerto Rico
I wonder how she could tell the difference? Do they speak a different language in Puerto Rico than they speak in Florida? http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/F/FL_WRONG_FLIGHT_FLOL-?SITE=FLTAL&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -- Employees at US Airways are looking into how an 83-year-old woman in a wheelchair flying from New York to Tampa instead found herself at an airport in Puerto Rico. Elfriede Kuemmel had gone to Newburgh, N.Y., for a day trip on Monday. Kuemmel's family said that somehow, an attendant on a connecting flight in Philadelphia wheeled Kuemmel to the wrong flight. She spent the night in Puerto Rico and arrived at the Tampa airport Monday. A US Airways spokesperson said the airline paid for her food and hotel and flew her back to Florida first-class.
