SAN FRANCISCO (Diya TV) — United Airlines has issued an apology to an Indian-American Bay Area resident after one of the airliner’s ticket agents bumped him off a flight over a filming dispute.
Navang Oza, 37, posted a video clip he’d recorded during a dispute with a United Airlines counter employee in New Orleans, he was checking into his return flight home to San Francisco and was told it would cost him $300 to check a bag that had cost $125 on his first flight.
When the airline employee started treating him with hostility, Oza whipped out his mobile phone and began recording the incident. The video, which lasted nearly two-and-a-half minutes, was posted to his Twitter account and retweeted more than 5,000 times. The video shows the airline employee telling Oza he wouldn’t be boarding the flight until the video he’d recorded was deleted.
“Until that is erased you’re not travelling,” the agent can be heard telling Oza.
I guess @united harassment isn't limited to the unfriendly skies. #unacceptable #united #lackofcustomerservice pic.twitter.com/A5P6A8XJjC
