Not quite the same thing, but I once flew as a space-a passenger on a Navy
C-9 originating at ADW (Andrews AFB just outside of D.C.). In the terminal, the flight board showed this aircraft going to NGU (NAS Norfolk, VA), only a short hop away.

After the doors were closed, the loadmaster began his safety briefing, saying "Welcome to mission # xxxx to NAS Norfolk, with intermediate stops at Malmstrom AFB, MT and NAS Memphis, TN. Enroute time to Norfolk will be approximately nine hours."

With that, some old retiree jumped out of his seat and began screaming to be let off...he had not known about the intermediate stops. Unfortunately for him, he was ordered back into his seat and was with us for the duration. And we ended up making an extra stop at Ellsworth AFB, SD for fuel.

Listening to the old guy grumble for hours made for some amusement during the long day.
