A 14-year-old Southwest passenger was stranded in a Baltimore airport for 19 hours on Christmas Eve.
Southwest staff left Penelope Meyer alone as they repeatedly rebooked her flight to Florida.
Penelope Meyer, 14, had been flying from Long Island, New York, to Fort Myers, Florida, to spend Christmas with her dad, Greg.
"Otherwise, she was going to be sleeping in an airport alone as a 14-year-old girl," Greg said.
While Greg found the additional expenses of about $2,000 to be an inconvenience, he was more concerned that staff had left Penelope alone for so long.
