Haven't seen anyone realize they were on the wrong flights after hearing these announcements, but guess it happens from time to time!
I saw a pax make that realization on an AA Eagle at DFW. She was sitting in the 1A seat facing the FA. The FA said "welcome to Flight # xxxx to Fayetteville, AR." The pax's eyes got really big. She said, "S**t, you're not going to Baton Rouge?"
The FA said no and immediately called the captain and told him to "shut it down! We have a pax on the wrong flight." They got her off and away we went.
Before they built XNA and we flew into FYV, we had many young GIs get off the plane and ask how they could get to Fort Bragg.
