Haven't seen anyone realize they were on the wrong flights after hearing these announcements, but guess it happens from time to time!
Occasionally the flight attendants goof up. I remember being on a UA flight bound for SFO, but the flight attendant said "Orange Country," causing all pax to panic momentarily before the FA revised her statement.
