Actor Holly Robinson Peete says sons not allowed to board Air Canada flight in Vancouver

 

Actor Holly Robinson Peete says she feels disrespected by Air Canada after two of her sons were barred from boarding a flight at Vancouver International Airport, with a ticket agent telling them they could not board without presenting the credit card used to pay for their tickets.

The incident happened on Oct. 4 while Peete was in Mission, B.C., shooting the movie Our Christmas Journey. Peete is familiar with the province, having shot 21 Jump Street in Vancouver, and says she considers British Columbia her "second home."

Two of her sons, Robinson, 19, and 16-year-old Roman, were visiting her for the weekend and were planning to board an evening flight back to Los Angeles. They both had one-way business-class seats, something Peete says she had booked numerous times before.

But when the two teens arrived at the Air Canada ticket counter at the Vancouver airport, they were told they needed to present the credit card used to purchase the tickets in order to board. They called their parents, who attempted to speak to the ticket agent and convince them of their identity.
