Delta Airlines has been on a roll lately (pun intended) when it has to do with allowing parents to have their children take unsupervised trips. Hours ago, rapper/actor Ludacris had a flight scheduled from Atlanta to New York for his daughter Karma who is 15 years old however due to some snafu, his daughter was not allowed to board the flight.
Apparently the airlines wanted the rapper to pay an additional 1 hundred dollars so that the airlines could assign a delta employee to monitor the child’s trip without her father present. Because Ludacris had already paid for first class tickets, he might have believed that his daughter Karma would have been okay to fly without him since her mother was awaiting her to arrive in NYC.
A rep for Ludacris tells TMZ … Luda booked the flight himself — a first class ticket — and was told there would only be a 1 1/2 hour layover. Luda claims he was told when he bought the ticket the only requirement was that an adult needed to be present in NYC when the plane landed — Karma’s mom.
Luda was shocked and angry when Delta changed the rules.
Of course Luda did what any responsible parent would do and returned back to the airport and fueled his own private jet and took her to New York City. Must be nice!
Something tells us, Luda may not be flying on Delta airlines anytime soon.
