The man was burying his brother in his native Nigeria. Air France was several hours late and lost their luggage.
Nicholas Owoyemi was traveling between New York and Lagos (Nigeria) on September 20, to return to his brother’s funeral. He is now suing Air France, responsible for the connection to Nigeria from Paris, the connecting point, which he accuses of “financial and emotional struggle”.
When he arrived in Paris, the man realized that his flight had been delayed for several hours. In fair physical condition, and suffering from heart problems, at 66 years old, he has to cross the Roissy-Charles-De-Gaulle airport several times, to reach the destinations of Delta Airlines and Air France connection, he said criticism during the case against the French company, this week in Staten Island (New York).
“They made me go around in circles and lost my luggage, which was not found for three weeks. They left it very quickly behind. It’s terrible,” he explains. to the American media The New York Post.
He finally put back on the Delta flight, he arrived in time for his brother’s funeral, as he finally landed in Lagos at 1am, instead of 9:40pm, the time originally scheduled. But he had to book a hotel on the site – and is demanding $600,000 from the French company in compensation.
