LA musician flies Frontier because of a checked bag policy, but the day he books a ticket for his DJ, he finds himself blacklisted: ‘Am I tripping?’

Los Angeles-based opera singer and hip hop fusion artist Babatunde Akinboboye just came across a travel situation that really confused him. Especially after he was left blacklisted from Frontier Airlines for something he thought was completely normal. The musician took to Instagram and TikTok to share his frustration after he attempted to book a flight for his DJ while in Philadelphia, only to find himself and his colleague flagged for alleged fraud.

Akinboboye explained the ordeal in the video, saying, “So I’m flying Frontier Airlines. I know, but I travel with two checked bags, and they have a bundle on weight.” He then laid out the issue: “I was already in the city, but I needed my DJ in the city, too. So I bought him a plane ticket, and he showed up to board the flight. Apparently, because his name didn’t match the name for the credit card that was used to purchase the flight, apparently that’s fraud.
