More than 120 free flights over the course of six years: that\u2019s how many perks and freebies a Florida man obtained by faking a flight attendant identity.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Federal Jury of the South District of Florida convicted the 35-year old man, identified as Tiron Alexander, of wire fraud and entering into a secure area of an airport under false pretenses.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Court documents presented as evidence at the June 5, 2025 trial showed that Alexander used a section of an airline\u2019s website that was available only to pilots and flight attendants in order to book free flights.<\/p>\n

From 2018 to 2024, Alexander claimed through the carrier\u2019s website application process that he worked for seven different airlines, and had approximately 30 different badge numbers and dates of hire.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Additional evidence showed that Alexander also pretended to work for three more different carriers, in addition to the seven.<\/p>\n

According to further submitted evidence, Alexander was a global ticketing support representative for Delta Air Lines from 2010 to 2012 and a flight attendant for Atlantic Southeast Airlines from 2013 to 2014. In 2015, he worked as a flight attendant for Republic Airways.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) told media outlet Fortune that Alexander was able to score free flights by fraudulently obtaining a boarding pass, undergoing TSA security procedures including ID verification and physical screening, \u201cand did not pose a threat to other airline passengers\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cTSA remains dedicated to the security of the flying public and will continue to support the prosecution of those who break air travel laws,\u201d TSA added.<\/p>\n

Alexander was arrested in March 2025, and his court sentencing is scheduled for August 25, 2025. He faces up to 30 years in prison.<\/p>\n
