Missing infant ticket leads to $1,735 airfare bill

Joshua Davis and his family were looking forward to a weeklong vacation in Cancun. They were not planning to pay twice for their airline tickets, or to be on the receiving end of a frustrating form letter from Delta Air Lines, which cast a long shadow over their family getaway.

“CheapoAir bargain made my mother cry”
