Sorry if this takes it off topic, but Mel and I got onto a plane a couple weeks ago and we heard a conversation between two men two rows back:
Man 1: Excuse me, you're in my seat."
Man 2: "No, 6A. It's mine"
1: "Can I see your ticket?"
2: (hands it over)
1: "You're on the wrong plane. This one's is going to New York."
2: "OH MY GOD, I NEED TO GO TO CHICAGO!!!!"
What a dick.
How does something like that happen? The gate agent certainly wasn't doing their job, no way would the check in system accept the boarding pass. I can see how someone can be confused though, when I was transfering in YYZ the layout of the gate area was very confusing. I never generally ask where my plane is leaving from but in this case I had to. Silly little Canada people.Quote:

When i was in Oakland flying jetblue, there were some people that almost got onto our plane, but the gate agent got it, and sent them to gate 9 and not 9A(our gate). Well, i hope he got on the right plane. Reminds me of home alone 2.
That's actually exactly what I said when it happened! "It would be funny if the other guy never showed and the guy wound up like Kevin McCallister in Home Alone 2"
