A 35-year-old man who falsely claimed to be a flight attendant for six years to book over 120 free flights was convicted by a federal jury on Tuesday, according to a press release by the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida.
Between 2018 and 2024, Tiron Alexander posed as a flight attendant for multiple major U.S. airlines, accessing the websites reserved for flight crew to book free flights using their employee benefits. Alexander is being charged with wire fraud and “entering into a secure area of an airport by false pretenses,” the release said.
The carriers named in court documents include American Airlines, Spirit Airlines, United Airlines, Delta Air Lines and Southwest Airlines.
Alexander reportedly flew 34 flights on one airline by pretending to be a flight attendant or staff member by using 30 different badge numbers and dates of hire to book his no-cost flights. According to the attorney’s office, he also claimed to be a flight attendant with three other airlines to book more flights.
