Ya think lost luggage is bad; what about a child?

Delta mixed up two kids and sent them to the wrong grandparents. The children were inadvertenly mixed up in Minneapolis-St. Paul and put on each other's connecting flights. The airline has been very kind and reimbursed both families the cost of their tickets.

The boy boarded a Delta airplane with an attendant by his side. When the plane landed in Minneapolis, a Delta employee walked him and several other unaccompanied children to a waiting room "?with lots of PlayStations."? About a half hour later, he heard his name and another name called over a loud speaker, directing both to the front of the room. There, the attendant asked him and a girl their names and destinations.

As they replied, the attendant "?wasn't paying attention,'' the boy said. "?She was talking on something, a radio.''

He eased into his seat, and listened on his iPod. He fell asleep and woke up in Cleveland, where an attendant walked him into the terminal, where the unidentified girl's grandmother was waiting.

"?When I got off the plane, the grandmother looked at me and asked, "?Who is this? "?I knew something was wrong because all the people around me said, "?Oh, my gosh.' ''

at least there was an exchange, think how horrible it would have been if only one child was involved

@djjd62,
And it for some, it may have been a better exchange.

@Linkat,
Un huh. I can remember a time I would have gratefully taken a blind goat in trade.
