Drunk 9W pax manages to board the wrong flight - without a boarding pass
 
Wanted to fly BOM-NAG, left his hand baggage and boarding pass behind at the gate, and still got past the 9W gate staff, CISF "check boarding pass and hand baggage stamps" guy and the 9W staff checking BPs at the flight door.

Sat down in some random guy's seat and when the actual flyer showed up, the FA just told the guy to sit wherever there was an empty seat. Didn't even bother with a headcount (lightly loaded flight I guess).

The guy finally figured out he boarded the wrong flight after he landed and walked into the wrong airport.

Closest I've come to boarding the wrong flight was out of DCA gates 33 and 33A, which share a door to a jetbridge that bifurcates.

I knew there was something wrong when I was first to board but approached a completely full plane.

These flights use bus gates and the buses aren't shared

keep in mind that this is reported in the times of india so there will be many inaccuracies....

If only, the chap just plainly walked out of the Rajkot airport without raising eyebrows? Would the 9W staff have cared at all about a no-show at gate..? ;)

Currently I am flying 9W almost every months and it is hard to believe..

At mumbai airport you are not allowed to cross to the bridges area without the boarding pass / stamped by security. so either you are stuck in that area or you are kicked out by security if they catch you.
