NARRATOR: Check in at Chicago Midway. And Supervisor Anita Herbert is facing a problem that's common for parents. I'm going to have to buy a deal. Yeah, I'm not paying $270 for a ticket for him, when he's 18 months old. You need to have proof of age for your baby. If your baby is close-- NARRATOR: Southwest has a rule that children under the age of two fly for free, but proof of age is required. Without proof for baby Ryan, the Hoashield family will have to buy a seat for him. You need to have proof of age. You represent this company. So, why does your company not say when you're flying or return-- No. Sir. Sir. No, I'm asking you a question. Why does-- are you back to my question or not? I can't answer what they did for you some place else. It is documented in here that you need to present proof of age for the baby. That's my third. That's my third time. You can give me all the double speak you want. I'm not double-speaking. But that's just basically poor customer service. NARRATOR: Back at check-in, Anita is still dealing with the increasingly angry Hoanshield family. And she tells me she's got to get a verification from the hospital where I had my child to verify that he is under the age of two. And now, she just told me I had to buy a ticket, which that's going to send me right over the edge. We did call the hospital, and they're saying they have no record of the birth. You need to present proof of age. If your child is under 18 months, please make sure you have a birth certificate, or you will you have to buy a ticket. Ma'am, our flight leaves at 4:50, so I'd like for you to tell them to wait. OK. We're not going to haul the aircraft, ma'am. With just 10 minutes to take off, it looks like they've reached deadlock. You can give us three tickets on the next flight. [MUSIC PLAYING] NARRATOR: In Chicago, Supervisor Anita is still waiting for proof that baby Ryan is under two and should travel for free. The hospital seems to have no record of the birth. I don't know what else you need from me. I was in delivery room #13. Well, you're wrong. I don't know what to tell you. OK. Well, my flight leaves in 10 minutes. NARRATOR: Anita offers up the only solution left. Are you not able to find the baby's date of birth. The baby infor-- Thank you, Lisa. She said she's not able to find the baby. So, I mean, we're limited on time. What you need to do is present the birth certificate to customer relations. They will refund your money. Am I going to get this credited back once I can prove-- Once you present the birth certificate. And if you had told me that to begin with, we should have done that. I tried to tell tell your husband, but-- Impossible. How is any of this possible? OK. OK. Ready. I got a family coming down. I was at the counter. NARRATOR: With five minutes to go, they have no hope of making the flight, unless Anita escorts them through security personally. A family of four. H-O-- NARRATOR: Back in the terminal, Anita is racing the Hoanshield's to their gate. Board, anyway, Lisa. Holding. I'm at 11. That's up to you, Margarita. Make them work. NARRATOR: Anita persuades the crew to hold the plane. Come on. Just come through. We'll do it at the top. Are we gonna make it? NARRATOR: In the end, they are the last to board. Our final for Southwest ever. She was crazy, man, at the counter. And her husband, he wouldn't let me say anything. Sometimes we can tell the baby is under two, but with that baby it was kind of borderline. So. And then, she wasn't real nice. We have two kids traveling by themselves. They will not let us walk our kids out together. You know what? Southwest. Don't fly Southwest. It's not about Southwest. Yes, it is. NARRATOR: Security rules at Midway are making Debbie Prisbilow angry. She's got two kids. And only she or her husband, not both, can accompany them to the gate. They're going to see their father for the Christmas holidays. And both me and their stepdad wants to walk them down because we're not going to have them for the holidays. So, both of us want to say goodbye to them, and they won't let us. We have to limit the people that go through security. And that's what I'm trying to get to you. It's a security reason. I cannot handle watching two kids by myself. I can give you a pass for one person to go down. Anybody could grab them and kidnap them. So, what's your answer to that? You rather get the kids kidnapped during the holidays? Ma'am. Ma'am, what? NARRATOR: Debbie's standing her ground. Time to bring in reinforcements. Right now, we're blocking off this. So, I'm going to get you checked in. I'm already checked it. But I want to know about my kids, though. Why can't we walk them down? NARRATOR: In Chicago Jenny Boehner has been called to deal with disgruntled mom Debbie Prisbilow. We just don't give out passenger information on your children to anybody. So, if anything-- - To anybody? I'm their mother. So, that's not anybody. We had to buy two tickets. I want to walk her down. He wants to walk him down. What is the difference? Right now, we have the holiday traffic. Everything's congested. And we do have to follow security rule. We're only allowed to let one parent go. Know what? I think your security reason is wrong. And I think you're just making this up because any other airline would do it. You should have both adults bring your children, you know, to the gates to board. It's ridiculous. It's the holidays. I want to say goodbye. Both of us want to say goodbye to our kids. Right. I mean, this is our first Christmas without them. We both want to say goodbye to them. Is that so difficult to ask? NARRATOR: Debbie is a force to be reckoned with. And she's not taking no for an answer. Debbie's determined to stay with her daughter until her plane leaves. Her husband and son are already through security. But she's confident she can blag another security pass from baggage services. You didn't get a pass at the-- No. They did not give me a pass for her to walk her down. As she's traveling with someone else? Her 12-year-old brother. Who's already down there. Who did he go down there with? His stepfather. NARRATOR: Little does Debbie know, but Sharia is double checking with the folks at the ticket counter. Hello. Hey, who is this? Hey, so this is Sharia. Everything gets done upstairs. The only reason they do come down here is when they have more than one person walking them through and they denied her the pass. Hopefully, they could get this resolved, or one of them will walk her down and stay with her until the plane leaves. NARRATOR: But Jenny's caught on to Debbie's game. I was shocked when Deborah made her way through bags. I was shocked that she left her husband and separated the children. She had our back against the wall. There is nothing more I can do, you know, than make a bigger scene out of that situation. NARRATOR: But Debbie does seem determined to make the most of the situation, making up rules as she goes along. There was no legal guardian down there of her. - He's my stepdad. - That's a stepdad. That is not a legal guardian. By the state of Illinois, or any place, any federal government, a stepfather or a stepparent is not a legal guardian of anybody. So, you know what? You messed up. So, you will stay with her until she leaves. Otherwise, I will sue you for leaving a child by herself without a legal guardian. NARRATOR: Debbie has put Jenny between a rock and a hard place. There was no option except to issue a second security pass. I saw her heart was breaking because her kids are going away for the holidays. So. This is my first Christmas without my kids. You feel better now that I could walk you down? NARRATOR: Over at the ticket desk, a mother and her two sons have arrived late and missed their flight to San Diego. I want to be-- I want to have an assigned seat on a flight. I was supposed to be at work this morning. NARRATOR: Sharon McEnery and her sons could be in for a long wait for the next flight. If there's only at 9:15, we have to standby the whole damn day? Check another airline for me. American West, anything. Just check another airline for me. I want to get out of Chicago today. OK. Let me check. Our flight was supposed to leave in 10 minutes. And we missed our flight. And they got nothing available. All day, you know. I'm going to miss a whole day at work for this. Just got here late and didn't expect the line to be like this. I thought there was a problem with the credit card, I guess or something. Ma'am, they advise you to be here two hours before departure. You showed up 20 minutes before departure. Because the line. The line takes about 40 minutes. 40 to 50 minutes. Well, we've never been here before, so I didn't know this. OK? Everything's sold out. It's Monday. It's a busy day, so. Everything is overbooked. That's ridiculous. It's absolutely insane. It's not like this in San Diego. NARRATOR: Sharon and her sons have no choice, but to go on standby. Justin, get over here and take this! And then, she tries to blame it on me for not being here on time. I don't think so. NARRATOR: Sharon McEnery and her sons are now on standby for a flight to San Diego. Will there be three seats left? I only have two seats left. Well, [INAUDIBLE]. Let's go. Let's go to American West. Screw this. Do you want to spend all damn day in the airport? [INAUDIBLE] this? The flight out. The last flight is booked. [MUSIC PLAYING] I'm just trying to get out of here. Thank you. They want 3,000 some odd dollars to get us the hell out of here. Ugh. And nobody else has got anything. We're stuck. I mean, Southwest really screwed me. NARRATOR: It looks like Sharon's finally run out of options. There's no way out of here. Yeah, I'm trying to get out of Chicago to go to San Diego. Do you have anything available? NARRATOR: Sharon McEnery has tried every which way to escape Chicago without success. Right. We can't get out of here. I want to go home to San Diego. I want to sue Southwest, man. We can't get out of here. I don't believe this. I don't believe this. We're stuck in damn Chicago. NARRATOR: She ends up asking Anita if she can get her on a flight today. Let me see. Just to make sure I don't have a better way for you to get to San Diego. Just double checking, OK? I mean, if the girl hadn't screwed around with my credit card so long, we could have made it. And then, she tells these guys, "Oh well, she came up here 20 minutes before boarding." That's [INAUDIBLE] right. OK. So let's prepare you that you're going to go through Kansas City. So again, a double connection. So, it changes planes again in Albuquerque to get you to San Diego. If this is the only way we can do it, it's the only way we can do it. Oh my God! I've never gone through so much hassle in all my life flying. NARRATOR: It's a roundabout way back to San Diego, but it's their only option. Are you available now? Let me see if I can find Sharon. NARRATOR: Back in Chicago, Anita is absolutely determined to make sure Sharon gets on a flight today. Standby passengers, Sharon McEnery to the podium, please. Stand by passengers, Sharon McEnery to the podium. Come on Sharon. Think you made it, honey. Oh! Come on guys! You didn't trust me, did you Sharon? You didn't trust me, did you? Oh God. NARRATOR: Back at BWI, Gina gives some bad news to some Buffalo passengers. All right, all passengers, your estimated time of departure is 9:16. An estimated time of arrival into Buffalo is 10:20. We do apologize about the inconvenience, but it is due to weather, and we cannot control the weather, unfortunately. Thank you. NARRATOR: Mr Singh is on his way to a friend's wedding and isn't taking the news well. Unfortunately sir, like I was telling you before, when it's due to weather, it's out of our control. I'm the highest that you get, sir. And I'm not going to compensate you when it's a weather delay. There is a manager, but he is tied up at the moment, sir. He's tied up at the moment, sir. OK, they're going to tell you the same thing I'm telling you, that's why. That's what I'm trying to say. You want me to be comp-- you want me to compensate you, because the flight's delayed due to weather, and I'm not going to do that. We don't fly in unsafe conditions He is tied at the moment, sir. OK, that's fine. I'll call him and tell him that you're going to wait for him. Hey, Craig. Craig, I know you're busy, but can you call me at Charlie 13 when you get a chance. [MUSIC PLAYING] He's upset, because it's delayed due to weather and he wants to be compensated. He didn't want to listen to me, because he said I'm not compensating him. So he said he was done with me, that he wanted a manager. [MUSIC PLAYING] Now, what you're saying is that you're going up there for a wedding. When is the wedding? 9 o'clock tonight? OK, so what you're trying to decide is if you really want to go up to Buffalo or not? Is that what your-- the question is? Mm-hmm. Well sir, because this was related to the weather delay, we don't provide any type of compensation here in the airport. Well, if you'd like to cancel, we can give you your money back if you'd like to, you know, do that. I understand since you're missing the wedding. There's not anything we can provide you because this type of a delay, no sir. I'm sorry you feel that way and if you decide if we can help you something else, let us know. All right. Mr Singh is obviously very upset. He's got an important meeting to go to. He's got a wedding going on in Buffalo, and he's looking for some kind of a gratification for this, and unfortunately, at this point, we can't offer him that. NARRATOR: At Chicago Midway, the last Baltimore flight is about to depart and Tim Broussard can't find his ticket. What flight are you getting on? I'm trying to get on this 8:15 flight. OK, who never handed you anything back? She told me-- I was on a standby flight. I went over to her, she called my name on a standby. I went there, I gave her the ticket for a standby, and she said she gave it back to me and told me I needed to be screened, but-- OK, who's she? Pinky? Yes. OK. She didn't give me anything. Did you see-- did you see the? I saw the actual paper ticket. Did he go through the screening at checkpoint? No, we were waiting on security, and I knew that she asked for 109, so I know it was him. So I looked around for-- So is security coming down? Yeah, security is coming. Margarita said she's calling them again. Have you been walking around just in this gate area? No, right here and right here. That's it. They called my name on the PTA. I was on standby, and they told me I was on the flight, and I came over, I gave her my license. She checked me in, she took my ticket. Hi it's Colleen in Chicago. Hang on. I have to get additional screening. This is-- this is nutty. I don't understand this. NARRATOR: Tim's flight is about to leave without him. The hunt is on for the missing ticket. We are looking for a security document that possibly was stamped through TSA for additional screening. He's claiming he was screened, but unfortunately we don't-- [INTERPOSING VOICES] --doesn't have one of these on there. He wasn't screened. Should be one more if he was screened. Tim, are you going through all your stuff? I don't have any ticket. I handed it to her. He's a full fair ticket. And he was a standby? Yeah, which I know. I mean, I saw the ticket and I stamped it in. That's how I know that everything was um-- Is it in your last? Were you doing another flight at the time, Pink? You know, I just think this kid-- this kid, he probably dropped it. Isn't he the one that dropped his food? Yeah, he is. Where'd he throw it away? Where's the garbage bag? Where'd the cleaning lady go with the garbage bag? Honey, you're the one who dropped your food over here. Did you leave your boarding-- I walked down, I came down, I dropped some fries. I picked up the fries and I threw them right here in the garbage. What'd you do with the garbage bag? I just told her not to take it. I just told her not to take the garbage. All it was was french fries. Attention in the airport, Southwest Airlines is paging one source cleaner. Return to Bravo 8. One source cleaner, return to Bravo 8. Please bring your garbage bag back. Tim, you need to come over here. I need to talk to you if you want to get on this flight. I'm helping you out. Yeah. OK, you're not helping me, because you lost your ticket, and you need a ticket to get on this aircraft. OK? - I understand that. So you need to pay attention to what I'm saying, because I know you keep saying she lost it, but she didn't lose it. First off, you're putting the blame on me, right off the get go. Tim, I don't need to let you go on this aircraft. I'm telling you-- I understand that. You lost your ticket. OK? You're telling me that I lost my ticket. OK. - OK. I'll go with that as long as I could get on this flight. OK. NARRATOR: With only minutes to go before takeoff, Colleen decides to get Tim cleared by security and allows him to travel. Nick. Pinky, pull a boarding card. Please. Sorry. How you doing? How's it going? Is that all the luggage you got? Yep. OK. [BEEPING] Thank you. They're waiting for you. Juanita, wait. Juanita, wait. Wait. The flight is about to depart, but not without a final word from Colleen. Hi, sorry. Where's Mr Bouchard? Where'd he go? He's-- Mr Bouchard, I just want to let you know, your ticket was laying on the floor in the hallway. We were able to find it. Thanks. Thank you. Hey. Thank you. Thank you. Turns out Mr Bouchard had actually lost his ticket in the concourse, like we told him. He just didn't want to listen to us and I don't think he understood how much we were trying to help him. He didn't want to listen. So the TSA screener was walking away and found his ticket laying on the floor in the hallway, like we tried to tell him. So, anyway. NARRATOR: At LAX, Connie McFall has arrived late for his flight to Las Vegas. You might get on the next one. NARRATOR: Having been in the hospital all day for tests, he's not feeling too well. If I pass out, what I do? Just-- I'm very, very serious. I'm not feeling well. Do you want a wheelchair? I could call for a wheelchair. No, I just wanted to let you know that I may have a little, you know, medical emergency here, because I haven't eaten anything, because I thought I was going to be able to catch the flight. So-- Right, well actually our next is a little bit delayed, if you want to go grab and get something to eat. Do you want me to walk with you to gate 2 and show you where it is? Well, I mean, I'm a college graduate, I can find gate 2. Where is it, down here or something? Yeah, you're going to go straight down here and you're going to see the food court on your right. Like the security area, and you take a right. It's a hallway going up. Thank you very much. OK, I'll see you up there. He just had to go get some medical treatment. And he said that he's been here for like hours waiting to get out and that he wasn't feeling well, so that's why I was offering him a wheelchair. NARRATOR: On standby for the next flight, Connie makes his way to gate 2, but he's not happy. I have not flown a [BLEEP] airline for at least since 18-- you know, since 1991, and I'm really [BLEEP] pissed off about this [BLEEP] You know, I'm not a [BLEEP] terrorist. You know, I don't have-- I don't have any [BLEEP] socks on dude. I'm not going to blow up a [BLEEP] damn plane, I'm a veteran. You know, it's overbooked or whatever the case may be, you would think going to Las Vegas, they would have a big damn jumbo [BLEEP] jet, you know, going here. A 747, a 787, or whatever the hell they can have, to go to Las Vegas, the entertainment Mecca of the damn [BLEEP] universe, and they have these little damn little-- little damn Volkswagen Jetta aircraft. You know, I mean, this is stupid. This is LA-damn-X, man. And you know, you're going into Las Vegas, the entertainment capital, the Mecca of the world, and you got a damn, you know, little small ass plane. Let's have some big damn planes around this place. Big [BLEEP] planes. Big. Not tall, not small. Big. If you're going to Las Vegas. Big planes. Big planes are a good thing. I was over here, man, getting ready to freaking pass out, because I'm lightheaded and woozy, because of all the medication stuff I've had to take today. So between that and then come up here and say, well, I'm sorry sir we can't get you on the plane to go to Las Vegas, give me a break. NARRATOR: Connie has made it to gate 2. He's still on standby and Liz has decided to make sure he's OK. Excuse me, Mr McFall. I wanted to see if you're feeling better, from when I spoke with you over at gate 7. I'm just-- I'm sitting here. As you see, there's currently no place to sit, so. You sure you don't want a wheelchair? Nope. What time is the plane gonna leave? It's supposed to leave around 6:20. Yeah. So that means-- [INTERPOSING VOICES] --you would clear standbys at like 6:10. OK? I'm just not really, you know, feeling too hot right now. Yeah, I understand. That's why I wanted to know if you wanted a wheelchair. Just for your comfort. Really I needed something to drink, because, I mean, I didn't even get any water or anything. I was about to pass out in here. So, that was my main concern. So-- All right, well we also have the first aid phone number, if you feel you need any of that type of assistance that I can call. If I pass out, I think I'm going to need a little bit more than first aid. OK, well, paramedics. I could call the paramedics for you. OK, all right, I just wanted to check in on you. All right. Thank you very much, though. Seriously, I appreciate it. Thank you. You're welcome. I would have thought they would have offered me a glass of water. A glass of friggin water, man. I mean, is that too much to ask? If you know that I have a pending serious medical condition, where I may friggin pass the hell out, you can't even show some type of compassion by offering a glass-- a bottle of water, or some juice, or something? NARRATOR: It looks like Connie may not be well enough to fly. So, it sounds like you think that he's too sick to go. I don't know what you-- I thought he was just tired and wanted to go home, and he had had medical treatment. First of all, did she offer you a wheelchair? Do you want to conserve your energy? Just preserve your energy, instead of just standing on the wall like this? So you can-- How much longer is it going to be? It's already been a while. You've been standing for a while. The wheelchair's easy. Please, if you can take a wheelchair just to relax for a few minutes, maybe it'll make you feel better. Are you sure? OK. NARRATOR: Carolyn gives Connie the all clear and preboards him. After spending nearly 12 hours in LA, Connie is finally on his way home.
