A woman from Hawaii said United Airlines gave a standby customer the nearly $1,000 seat she purchased for her young son, forcing her to hold the boy on her lap during a three-hour flight.
Shirley Yamauchi said she noticed nothing unusual when she boarded the United flight in Houston last week with her 27-month-old son, Taizo, while traveling from Hawaii to Boston.
"The tickets were scanned without any incident," she told ABC News. "I didn't see any difficulty or anything strange."
But after she and her son were seated on the plane, she said, a passenger who was on the standby list arrived at their row with a ticket for Taizo's seat.
"The flight attendant, when I let her know that these were my seats, she came back and told me that the flight is full, and she shrugged, and that was the end of it," Yamauchi recalled.
