Passenger loses cool when he finds he’s on wrong flight

Friday, May 24, 2019

Video footage uploaded to social media showed an irate passenger arguing with flight attendants after he realised that he was on the wrong flight. Unfortunately for him, he failed to discover his mistake until after the plane had already begun to land, leaving him stuck in the wrong city.

The passenger was flying from Pisa, Italy, and boarded a Ryanair flight bound for Bari, in southern Italy, news reports said. Unfortunately, he was supposed to be on another plane which was headed to Cagliari, the capital of Sardinia. Nobody realised the mistake until the flight began descending in Bari.

Footage of the incident was uploaded to Twitter by a fellow passenger with the caption “landed. He realises that he is in Bari and not Cagliari.” The video shows the man yelling at flight attendants. He angrily asks them how he was able to get through the ticket checks with a ticket for another plane. He then complains that he spent $446 to purchase his ticket and that he doesn’t have any more money.

A spokesperson for Ryanair issued the following statement: “We have asked our third-party handling agent at Pisa to investigate this matter and ensure it does not recur.”
