What would have happened if only females were on the plane? (*rolls eyes*)

Man was obviously a raving lunatic.
"Passengers told Las Vegas television station KTNV-TV after the plane landed that the man said he was from California and was on the wrong plane."
How do you even get on the "wrong plane" unless you bought the wrong ticket? How do you even find it?

Strangely enough, Matt, it's been known to happen.

Posted: 1/25/10 at 2:26pmI just find it so odd because you first have to go find the wrong gate, not check any of the info at the gate, and then there's the boarding pass scans (unless this flight didn't use them or something) and the coincidence of not having the same seat as someone else. It seems like there has to be a monumental amount of indifference from every side to accomplish this sort of feat. Or maybe a big crock pot full of crazy stew.

Posted: 1/25/10 at 2:40pmIt does happen, though - a friend of mine was flying to NY and didn't realize they'd changed the gate for the flight. Showed the boarding pass, got on the flight w/o question and never would have known until it was too late if the person who had that seat on that flight hadn't shown up.

Posted: 1/25/10 at 3:00pmSo let's say he was on the wrong flight, what would opening the door to the plane have solved?! In instances like this, a special chute should be used for passengers like him. You want to get off the plane....ok!!

Posted: 1/25/10 at 4:10pmThis hapened to me on a United flight from Chicago to Denver back in the mid 90's. This woman and her daughter were on their first flight ever. They were going to her Grandfather's funeral. (She let everyone know this) I fell asleep shortly after take-off. When I woke up, we were over the Rocky Mountains preparing to land. She was at the door trying to open it and screaming that she wanted off of the plane. Someone yelled "let her off!" Attendants were trying to pry her off of the door. They finally did but couldn't get her in her seat for the landing. Seems that while I was asleep, she had way too much to drink and started annoying other passengers. Needless to say, we waited at the gate on the plane while the police escrted her and her daughter off of the plane first.

I got on the wrong plane once. I wanted to go to San Jose, and I boarded a plane to San Bernardino. I went through the gate, onto the plane, sat down and buckled up.
I didn't know until the pilot was like, "The weather in San Bernardino is excellent."
I high tailed it outta there!

Of course people get on the wrong flight. Haven't you seen Home Alone 2?
In all seriousness, how have folks boarded the wrong flight if they scan the tickets? Or, in these examples, did they just rip the ticket the old fashioned way and the gate attendant didn't notice.

Posted: 1/25/10 at 4:58pmI got on the wrong plane once. I was flying to Philadelphia and had a stopover in Dallas. I get to my gate in Dallas and they're lining people up for a flight to Charlotte. I asked the desk attendant who said that they were going to Charlotte first and the flight would go to Philly from there. So I got in line and got on the plane. Was in my seat and had my seatbelt buckled. Everyone around me seemed to be talking about Charlotte so I was getting confused. Finally, I asked a flight attendant who said they were NOT going to Philadelphia and this was the first she'd heard of it. So I got off the plane and the desk attendant (the same one as before) reprinted a boarding pass for me since he'd ripped my old one and apologized for his mistake. My flight was taking off from the same gate an hour late.

Posted: 1/25/10 at 5:06pmI need to plan my trips much more poorly. I need to buy a ticket to St. Louis and accidentally get on the plane to Spain.

Posted: 1/25/10 at 6:18pmIn my opinion, St Louis sounds a lot like St Croix or St Thomas or St John.
