On the plane, someone was in my seat 2A. Her BP said BWI, not EWR, so I smiled and said, "ma'am, I think you've boarded the wrong plane - this one's going to Newark." Many people in F exclaimed "What, this plane is going to Newark?!? I'm going to Baltimore!".
Well, needless to say, I was on the wrong plane, and that's why it buzzed! Yes, I'm an idiot! Just needed to share!
Well you didn't do too bad though. A friend of ours managed to board a flight from Europe to EZE (Buenos Aires) instead of JNB (Johannebsurg) half way through the flight he wondered about the map, and why the plane was heading over the atlantic instead of staying over the African continent. Took him three daysto get to where he intended to ..... so you were just fine ...
