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!
When UA introduced Nagoya and there were some super cheap fares, I decided to do an MR. On the plane next to me was another FTer. I won't reveal her name, but she revealed that she was headed to Tokyo and all of her reservations, etc. were for Tokyo. We hung out (since we both needed hotels, but I knew I was heading to Nagoya ). It was a fun 23 hours in Nagoya.
