I book flights for my parents, who are both elderly. I set up a flight for my Dad, on American Airlines. And requested the golf cart to get him from gate to gate. Not 30 minutes later, I got a call, "An emergency notice about your flight." They were trying to sell Dad some "life alert" type thing, claiming it was really important to have one while flying. For the low low cost of like $350 and a $20 a month subscription. Worse, once they realized I wasn't an old old man and they kept saying, "Please put your father on the line..." I told them they could call him at (my number) ### ### ####, and they called right away and were like, "You should do this for your son, think about how stressful it would be for him if you had and accident." So freakin' shady. If you have elderly relatives, consider helping them book tickets -- and flying with them. And for giggles, put your own phone number down and see all the spam ads. American Airlines clearly sold my Dad's contact info... along with his "request for a golf cart" to this scammer sales company.
