A Georgia mother is demanding answers from Delta Air Lines after an alarming incident on her family\u2019s flight earlier this month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The airline is investigating what led to a man boarding the wrong plane at Washington Dulles International Airport earlier this month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lauren Benton told ABC News that she, her husband, and their 9 and 6-year-old children were flying home from Dulles when she noticed a man who appeared to be following her family throughout the terminal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“My heart started beating immediately — I didn’t know what this man’s intentions were,” Benton told ABC News. “He was standing in the ladies room washing his hands, and I was immediately alarmed.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Benton said she tried to keep her distance, but when the family boarded the plane, that same man boarded as well and sat down right in their row.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“My husband assertively confronts him and says, ‘Hey, is this really your seat?’ And the man says, ‘yes, it’s my seat,'” Benton recalled. “The stewardess requested to see the man’s boarding pass — he was unable to produce it.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
