A mother paid nearly $1,000 so her 2-year-old son would have his own seat on a flight, which is understandable since the airlines policy is children over the age of 2 must have their own ticket and occupy their own seat. However that didn’t stop United from selling that seat for $75 to a standby passenger. Once again United wasn’t willing to do anything until the media became aware of the problem. A spokesperson for the airline said the gate agent didn’t scan the child’s boarding pass, which prompted them to sell his seat to another passenger.
