An outraged Florida woman claims a man fondled himself while sitting next to her on an American Airlines flight, and the airline did nothing more than offer her 5,000 free miles, about $59, to make it up to him while the creep walked away unscathed when they landed.
The victim said she was traveling from Orlando to Dallas last week and was sitting next to a man who struck up a casual conversation with her, Action News Jax reported.
After telling him he was on his way to visit his daughter and grandson, he asked if he wanted to have a drink.
The woman refused and shortly after she noticed the man put his hand down his pants.
“He was looking right at me and, like, his body turned and (he was) looking at me,” she told the station.
“I can see he had his fingers in his shorts and they were pulled up to his groin area. And he was just kind of stroking himself.”
The woman captured the lewd behavior on her cell phone before getting up from her seat and alerting the flight attendants, who placed her in another row.

“I was like, you know what now? What do we do from here? Should I file an incident report? You know, do I have an escort? Kind of, because I feel insecure right now,” he told the team.
But the victim said no further action was taken and her tormentor was able to leave the plane after landing.

She later called the airline to tell them about her ordeal and a customer service representative told her to fill out an online report.
But instead of doing him justice, the company offered him some free miles.
“As a courtesy for your flying experience, we will reward you with 5,000 miles, which I thought was a slap in the face,” Jax told Action News.
According to data from WalletHub, 5,000 American Airlines miles have an average value of about $59.

Exasperated, she contacted local police in Dallas, who said the airline did not follow protocol and that the matter would have to be handled by the FBI since it occurred on a plane.
“This person should be held accountable,” the victim said.
An American Airlines spokesperson said they are following up on the incident.
“We strive to create a safe and comfortable environment for our customers,” he said. “A member of our team has contacted the customer to learn more about her experience and address her concerns.”
The spokesperson added that the matter has been referred to the FBI.
