United Mixup Sends Disabled Octogenarian Across Country

On Tuesday, 80-year-old flyer Maria Larios was accidentally flown to Denver instead of her intended destination of Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU) after being allowed to board the wrong flight.

Larios’ family claims to have made special accommodations for Larios, who is partially blind and does not speak English, that were not honored.
