U.S.: Muslim family barred from AirTran flights

  • What happened The family, scheduled to fly yesterday, was detained after a passenger misconstrued comments they made about the “safest” spot to sit. The FBI questioned them and released them, but AirTran would not let them on another flight.
  • Airtran says The family, who was headed from D.C. to Orlando on vacation, had the FBI’s go-ahead but not AirTran’s. Despite not booking the family on another flight, the company offered the family full refunds and an opportunity to fly for free in the future. source
