A Nunavut mom is happy to be home for Christmas in Gjoa Haven with her son, after an airline ticketing mix-up almost left the nine-year-old boy stranded in Yellowknife. The ticket counter said they couldn’t find Cohen’s itinerary on the screen, Putuguq recalled. Putuguq told her that she didn’t have $1,000 to buy another ticket to fly that day. When Arychuk offered to buy a new ticket, Putuguq wanted to try one more time to see if the airline could solve the issue. In a statement to CBC News, Canadian North spokesperson Kelly Lewis confirmed that they then updated Cohen’s ticket at the check-in counter.
