US Airlines has accepted as a valid passenger airplane almost 20 years old.
John Walker of Greenburne, a city in the US state of North Carolina, found in January in a subwoofer drawer for a flight on the Nashville-Sacramento route on December 31, 1998, writes "Independent".
The map was purchased, said Walker, for a trip to Sacramento to commemorate a wedding, scheduled for January 2, 1999.
However, he could not leave and asked for his ticket refunded.
From the airline they replied that the money for the ticket could not be returned to him, but that he could use it for a future flight in the same value.
"I put it off because I did not intend to travel anywhere soon," Walker said.
"Then I completely forgot about it," he said.
Looking for something else beneath the bed, nearly 20 years later, Walker found a flight letter and a letter from United Airlines.
The letter said it could use the ticket on all domestic flights "forever" and decided to check whether it was "forever" and today.
Although the airline declared a bankruptcy in 2010, it was told from the company that, as its case was unique, it would be recognized as a voucher.
He is still waiting for a $ 378 voucher, now worth $ 571 for inflation, writes "Independent".
