Tamara Wiggins, a single mom traveling with her four daughters, (her 3-month old twins, a 6-year-old & 10-year old) were turned away by Virgin Airlines yesterday over an additional $15 dollar charge for luggage.

After noticing that she forgot her wallet, Tamara reached out to her mother, the one who actually purchased the tickets. Her mother tried to persuade the ticketing agent to allow her to pay an additional $15 by credit card but the woman  wouldn’t authorize the purchase. Tamara and her girls were supposed to be traveling to San Francisco Airport, a 45-minute plane ride from Los Angeles.

Can’t believe that Virgin would turn away a single mother traveling with four small children on Christmas Eve? I mean where is the holiday spirit? The girls missed out on spending Christmas with their grandmother over an additional $15 charge? Consequently they haven’t been able to get a live person on the phone to complain.

Story developing….
