Boy stranded alone in a foreign country after plane overbooked, next available flight in a week

It was like something out of a “Home Alone” sequel.

An Iceland mother was apoplectic after her teen son was stranded abroad by Wizz Air after the budget airline allegedly overbooked his flight.

“I am so lost for words,” the fretful parent, named Arna, 39, wrote in a a Reddit post blowing up online.

Her 14-year-old son, Alfred, had reportedly been traveling back home to Reykjavík from Rome, Italy with seven other teens and an adult chaperone following a fencing trip, the Mirror reported.

However, when the group checked in at the airport, Alfred was informed the carrier didn’t have a seat for him even though he had a ticket and his mom paid an additional $45 to check-in.

“Due to a problem with online check-in he had to go to the check-in desk and pay extra for checking in there. He did not get assigned a seat,” Arna explained on Reddit. “Once boarding was finished he was told he was bumped off due to overbooking.”

As a result, the mortified youngster had to look on helplessly as his friends departed on the Wizz Air flight without him.

While the accompanying adult was offered the option to give up her seat for him, she declined as this would mean leaving the whole group of minors unattended on the plane.

“He [Alfred] was upset by the situation,” Arna told the Mirror. “He was really, really frightened, I think. I think it just felt very, very unnerving and frightening for him.”

To make matters worse, the Wizz Air staff said the next flight to Iceland wasn’t for another week.

“They offered absolutely no help in getting him on another flight the same day… and no understanding of how grave the situation was, to leave a 14-year-old alone stranded in a foreign country,” the distraught mom wrote on Reddit.

She added that the staff said they had no idea how old Alfred was despite the fact that his age was listed on the booking.

The petrified teen made his way to the Wizz Air service desk because staff had told him he was entitled to compensation.

When he got there, he was allegedly told he was entitled to nothing.

The Post reached out to Wizz Air for comment.

The one consolation was that a friendly couple had also been bumped from the same flight and offered to take care of the trapped teen.

“Luckily there was a couple bumped from the same flight who offered to sort of look after him,” Arna recalled. “Otherwise, I’m not sure what I would have done.”

“I would have probably flown over on the first available flight or contacted the Italian police.”

The air odyssey finally ended after the determined parent booked Alfred a “really expensive flight” home with the couple via Icelandic Air, whom she described as “really helpful.”

The accompanying couple reportedly helped her son “reclaim his luggage” — something Wizz Air neglected to do, per Arna.

Despite filing a formal complaint, the beleaguered mother says that the airline has yet to reply, claiming: “There’s no way of getting through to them.”
