ʻElua mau keiki ʻōpio ʻaʻole i hele pū ʻia, ʻo 15 a me 16 mau makahiki, i waiho ʻia ma South Korea ma hope o ka hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻana mai ko lākou lele ʻana mai Seoul i Philippines ma mua o ka lele ʻana.
Ua hele nā keiki kāne a Rakesh lāua ʻo Prajakta Patel e kipa i ko lāua kupuna kāne ma kahi haukapila ma Atlanta, Georgia, a aia lākou ma ka huakaʻi hoʻi i Manila, kahi e hana nei ko lākou makuakāne i kahi hana pōkole. Ke hana nei lākou i ka huakaʻi transatlantic iā lākou iho.
Ua hoʻomaka ka huakaʻi hoʻi me ka lele Delta 14-hola mai Georgia a i Seoul, South Korea. Ua holo maikaʻi kēia ʻāpana mua o ka huakaʻi, akā ua ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o kā lākou huakaʻi huakaʻi i ka wā i hoʻāʻo ai nā keikikāne e kau i kahi lele lua mai Seoul a Manila me Delta. Korean Air ma muli o ka loaʻa ʻana o kekahi o nā keikikāne i ka maʻi maʻi pīkī make.
ʻO Prajakta Patel, ka makuahine o nā ʻōpio ua haʻi aku ʻo Delta iā ia i ka maʻi pīkī koʻikoʻi o kāna keikikāne ma mua o kā lākou huakaʻi nui, no laila ua pūʻiwa nā kaikunāne i ka haʻi ʻana aku o kekahi luna puka e lawelawe ʻia ka pīkī ma ka lani kiʻekiʻe. He koʻikoʻi loa ka maʻi ʻaleʻale o ke keikikāne a hiki i nā ʻāpana ea mai ka pīni ke pilikia loa.
Ma hope o ka wehewehe ʻana i ke kūlana, ua ʻōlelo ʻia nā ʻōpio e hiki iā lākou ke lawe i ka lele a i ʻole e haʻalele i ka mokulele a hala ka huakaʻi. ʻOiai ua koho nā keiki kāne a Patel e kau i ka mokulele, ua hoʻokuʻu koke ʻia lākou.
"Ua hele mai ka luna ʻīpuka ma luna o ka mokulele a ʻōlelo i kaʻu mau keikikāne e haʻalele," wahi a Mrs. Patel. “Ua haʻalulu kekahi o kaʻu mau keiki - ʻo lākou wale nō ma kahi ʻāina ʻē. Ma hea lākou e hele ai?" Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Mrs. Prajakta ua huki ka luna puka i ka pālule o kāna keiki "e paipai iā ia e neʻe" mai ka mokulele.
No ka huikau, ua hoʻi hou ka poʻe ʻōpio i ka ʻīpuka a haʻi aku i nā luna o ka mokulele ua mākaukau lākou e noho ma hope o ka mokulele me ke kaikunāne me nā allergies nut e komo ana i ka mask. ʻOiai ʻo kā lākou hāʻawi ʻana e hoʻololi, ua haʻi ʻia kahi limahana puka i nā keikikāne ʻaʻole i ʻae ʻia e hoʻi i ka mokulele i "pani ʻia."
Ua haʻalulu nā keikikāne i ko lākou mau mākua, a ua ho'āʻo lākou e kōkua iā lākou e hiki i Manila me ka lanakilaʻole. Ua kamaʻilio ka makuahine me kahi ʻelele Delta nāna i haʻi iā ia e hiki i nā keikikāne ke lele ma luna o kahi kaʻa ʻokoʻa, akā naʻe, no ka ʻike ʻole ʻana i nā kulekele nut o nā mokulele, ua hoʻoholo ʻia e lele i nā keikikāne i Atlanta, Georgia, ma Delta.
Ke koi nei ʻo Mrs. Patel ma mua o kahi kalahala wale nō me ka manaʻolana e hoʻomaikaʻi nā mokulele mokulele i kā lākou mau kulekele hoʻonaʻauao limahana e pili ana i nā allergies nut. Ua hoʻopiʻi ʻo ia me Delta a me Korean Airlines a ke ʻimi nei ʻo ia e hoʻihoʻi.
Ua hoʻopuka ʻo Delta a me Korean Air i kēia mau ʻōlelo e pili ana i kēia mea: “E kala mai mākou i ka pilikia o kēia ʻohana, ʻoiai i ka wā paʻakikī iā lākou. Ke kamaʻilio nei ʻo Delta a me kā mākou hoa Korean Air me ka ʻohana a nānā i nā kaʻina hana e pili ana i kēia hanana; E hoʻohana mākou i kā mākou ʻike i kā mākou hana e hana i kahi ʻike kūlike no nā mea kūʻai aku e lele ana iā Delta a me kā mākou hui mokulele.
Ua hāʻawi pū kekahi waha ʻōlelo no Korean Air i nā manaʻo like: "Ua ʻike ʻo Korea Air he pilikia ʻoihana ka pīkī a me ka meaʻai a ʻaʻohe mokulele e hiki ke hōʻoiaʻiʻo i kahi kaiapuni ʻaʻohe meaʻai. Akā ke nānā nei mākou i nā ala e hoʻoponopono ai i kēia pilikia ma kahi ala palekana a hiki ke hiki. Hoʻomaopopo loa mākou i nā pilikia e kū nei i nā poʻe kaʻa me nā meaʻai a me nā meaʻai a e hoʻāʻo maoli mākou e hoʻokipa iā lākou i ka wā e hiki mai ana.
He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:
- This first leg of the journey went fine, but their travel plans took a turn for the worse when the boys attempted to board a second flight from Seoul to Manila with Delta partner Korean Air as a result of one of the boys having a deadly peanut allergy.
- Confused, the teens found themselves back in the gate area and told flight officials that they were willing to sit in the back of the plane with the brother with nut allergies wearing a mask.
- The sons of Rakesh and Prajakta Patel had gone to visit their grandfather in a hospital in Atlanta, Georgia, and were on the return journey to Manila, where their father is working a temporary job.
