The ticket that caused the loss of an airline:
In the year 1987, a person named Steve Worthstein bought a golden ticket from American Airlines, the price of which was $ 250,000, and it allowed him to travel in the first business class on American Airlines for life for free.
In addition to a $150,000 companion ticket, the important thing is that Steve has booked more than 10,000 trips, and sometimes
He would travel to eat a sandwich at a certain restaurant or to watch a match
Sometimes he would travel with homeless people in order to return them to their country, or if he was upset, he would reserve the companion seat for an unreal person, so that the place next to him would be empty during the trip, and if he was bored, he would book and not travel.
He used to let his son go to all sports events everywhere in the world
And he used to travel to Canada in the morning to buy food from Canada that his wife loves, and she wished her only 50 dollars.
And he answers her and comes back before lunch and tells her that I passed the morning like this quickly to Canada and I came
And in July 2004, he traveled to 18 countries. He always said that I can go anywhere at any time. All I have to do is bring the bag and go to the airport.
Until 2008 only (about 20 years)
1- Steve has traveled 10,000 times.
2- Traveled 10 million miles.
3- Obtained 40 million flight points.
4- He traveled 500 times to England
5- He traveled 70 times to Australia
6- He traveled to Tokyo 120 times
7- It cost American Airlines $21 million in losses.
The company's reaction was that it said that it must stop him with his golden ticket in any way.. So, while he was traveling with his friend on December 13, 2008, he was stopped by the police at the airport.
And he tells him that your ticket has become invalid, and this was the great shock to Steve.. and because of that, he returned home shocked and slept for several days, but he decided to file a case against American Airlines, and his complaint was that America is a country of freedom, justice and democracy, and that the airlines The American ruined his life by keeping him away from his favorite hobby of traveling
Indeed, after filing a lawsuit against the company for breaching its promises and credibility, and requesting compensation from the company for the state of grief it caused him, he won the case, and also received $3 million in compensation, in addition to returning his free ticket, which is valid for life.
