An angry Florida woman claims a man groped her while sitting next to her on an American Airlines flight — and the airline did nothing but offer her 5,000 free miles, about $59, to make up for it while the creep walked away unscathed when they landing
The victim said she was traveling from Orlando to Dallas last week and sat next to a man who engaged her in casual conversation, Action News Jax reported.
After telling him he was on his way to visit his daughter and grandson, he asked if he wanted a drink.
The woman refused, and then noticed the man put his hand in her pants shortly after.
“He was looking right at me and, like, his body turned and (was) facing me,” she told the station.
“I could see that his fingers were on top of his shorts, and they were raised up to the groin area. And he was just, like, stroking himself.
The woman caught the lewd behavior on her mobile phone before getting up from her seat and alerting the flight attendant, who put her in another row.

“I used to be, like, you know what now, like, what do we do from here? Like, do I file an incident report? Like, you know, did I get an escort? Like, something, because I don’t feel safe at this point,” he told the crew.
But the victim said no further action was taken, and his tormentor was able to escape the plane after landing.

She then contacted the airline to share her ordeal, and a customer service representative told her to fill out an online report.
But instead of giving him justice, the company instead gave him some free miles.
“As a courtesy for your experience on the flight, we will reward you with 5,000 miles, which I think is a slap in the face,” he told Action News Jax.
According to WalletHub data, 5,000 American Airlines miles have an average value of around $59.

Furious, he then called the local police in Dallas, who said the airline had not followed protocol and that the matter should be taken into account by the FBI because it happened on a plane.
“This person should be held accountable,” the victim said.
An American Airlines spokeswoman said they were following up on the incident.
“We strive to create a safe and comfortable environment for our customers,” he said. “A member of our team has contacted the customer to learn more about his experience and address his concerns.”
The spokesman added that the matter had been referred to the FBI.
