I found my seat and after a while a lady asked me if I was sitting in the right seat. I said I was, and checked my ticket again.

The flight attendant then came and checked, and said that the flight on my ticket was going to Calgary, and that this flight was going to Winnipeg.

I rushed off the plane in a hurry, and a lady on the tarmac intercepted me. I told her that I was on the wrong plane, and she told me that I was supposed to get off at "G". She then said something that was extremely offensive to me. I am Asian, and she said, "Do you read English?" I was taken aback, but didn't have the time to tell her off. I just ran to the plane.

Luckily, I was able to board the correct plane just in time.

One time I came close to boarding the wrong plane. The flight had the same destination, same carrier, similar departure time (off by one hour, so I thought it was delayed. The gate number was very similar as well (B42 vs B44), and the flight number was almost the same 1440 vs 1420 or something like that).

Has anyone else gotten on the wrong plane before? Also, do you think what the lady at the tarmac said was offensive? I spoke to her in proper English, so there really was no reason for her to ask me if I could read English.
