A woman who claimed she was prevented from boarding a flight has revealed the unexpected reason she was blacklisted and banned from flying with American Airlines. American Erin Wright took to social media explaining she had purchased a US$400 ($658) American Airlines return ticket from New Mexico to New Orleans so she could attend her sister’s hen party. However, she claimed when staff struggled to check her in, they investigated and soon discovered the airline had banned her and put her name on the “no-fly list”.
Confused, the 24-year-old thought it was a mistake and asked why she was banned. Wright went back and forth with the gate agent, who said “I’m really sorry, it’s an issue of internal security. I can’t tell you but the person on the phone told me that you should know why”.
