A Louisiana family is suing American Airlines in federal court after a ticket agent allegedly lied about an oversold flight, ejected a 4-year-old boy from a Disney World trip, and refused to accommodate a deaf mother travelling alone with four children.
Coby and Emily Stewart paid over $5,000 (£3,683) in airfare alone on 2 January 2025 as part of a larger vacation investment for their family of six. The couple and their four children, aged 4 to 11, were flying from Lake Charles Regional Airport in Louisiana to Orlando, Florida, for what their lawsuit describes as a 'once-in-a-lifetime trip' to Disney.
