It is that simple. You do not have the right to fly on a private service.

Especially if you have wilfully ignored the terms of service and caused disruption to other passengers.

Actually, you do have a right to fly on a private service once they've let you board. This wasn't the case yet in 2017, but the TICKETS Act clearly states:

> if the gate agent accepts a passenger for boarding after collecting or scanning the passenger’s boarding pass, the carrier is prohibited from removing the passenger from the flight thereafter.

That is precisely what United did.

You most definitely do have the right to fly on a private service... if they voluntarily offered you a ticket, you accepted the offer, paid them, and were even allowed aboard to boot.

If United rented out their house to two tenants, they can't just drag one of them out by the ears? It's on them for being two-timing fraudsters.
