Its Bananas: Lesbian Traveler Allegedly Banned by American Airlines for Intimacy With a Man and Forced to Pay $1,400 to Get Home

I've heard plenty of wild stories from bachelor and bachelorette parties, but usually they involve the antics that people get up to while on their trip. However, one woman has a doozy of a tale about her sister's bachelorette party, and it has to do with what she says prevented her from boarding the American Airlines flight that was supposed to take her to New Orleans.

That's because she says she was allegedly prohibited from boarding her flight after a case of mistaken identity had her confused with a woman who had previously gotten drunk on an American flight and then got caught having sex with a man while in the air. Only, this TikToker says that she's a lesbian, which means there is a zero percent chance that she ever would've done something like this... drunk or not! Here's what she says happened.

    A TikToker came home from a planned trip with a story to tell, after she says that she learned she had been banned from flying American Airlines when she showed up at the airport to board her flight.

    The trouble started when the OP says that she was unable to check in on the airline's website ahead of her flight. Thinking that it was odd, since she already booked her flight, she headed to the airport and tried to check in on the kiosks, only to discover that she was getting an error message every time she tried. After asking for help from a staffer who also got the same alert, the OP learned that she had been banned from flying on the airline, and the only way to find out why is to send an email to the airline's customer relations department.

    "So, I realize that I'm going to miss my flight, so I quickly book another flight," she recalled, sharing how the new flight set her back $1,400 and stole eight hours from her trip. While she waited, she sent several emails to the person she was told to reach out to, but the OP says she didn't hear anything back until well after she had returned from the trip, which is when she learned that she had received a lifetime ban after getting drunk and having sexual relations with a man on a previous flight. The kicker, of course, is that the OP is a very out and proud lesbian. "Let me tell you, I am a 24-year-old lesbian, do you see me having sexual relations with any man? No!"

    However, weeks after learning about what had happened, the OP was still fighting with the airline to get off its no-fly list, and was even instructed to send in a letter of explanation about the situation. While she says that after several months of back-and-forth she was able to get off the no fly list, she was only ever allegedly reimbursed $400 by the airline.

    The Traveler Shared an Update After Her Story Went Viral

    Right after the OP posted her story, it went extremely viral, which she said allowed her to recoup the extra money she had to spend to get a new ticket after the alleged case of mistaken identity had her banned from her original flight.

    "Good for you. Definitely reach out to US DOT and CC: American Airlines. That part is critical. They hate being reported to DOT," one person wrote.

    A few other people shared similar advice, with many saying they wouldn't fly the airline again until they made it up to the OP. However, there was one person who shared a similar case of mistaken identity with a different airline, perhaps hinting at a bigger issue. "My friend got put on the no fly list for Frontier, for his behavior on the flight, two days before his flight," they wrote.

    Wow, while I am absolutely stunned by this story, I love the way the OP's followers supported her through the entire ordeal while also giving her the additional views she needed to get financial restitution, even if if it did come from TikTok and not the airline. However, after hearing this story and others like it, I can't help but wonder how often this happens to travelers and whether all of their stories are as wild as this one!
