What do you think about the family that got on the wrong plane?

Question

After a mix-up at the check-in desk they didn't twig that they'd got the wrong boarding cards until they landed in Turkey.

It's not nerdy or obsessive to know: The time of your flight. The Flight number and the name of the airport you are flying to, is it? It's just exercising basic inteligence.

Answer 1

planks, thick as, i would be so excited i would know the color of the pilots underpants and i would most certainly know which airport i would be flying to !  xx

Answer 2

well - we arent all as intelligent as Thou, are we now !!!

yawn :(

Answer 3

Yeh, I reckon that it's a bit crazy they didn't realise until they landed. Not only do you usually at least look at your boarding pass, but you have to check the screens to see what gate, and to make sure you're flight is not delayed. And how about when the pilot and air host/ess talks over the loudspeaker and says "Welcome to the (airline)'s flight to Turkey, the weather is... blah blah blah"

Pretty funny if you ask me!!

Answer 4

They do appear to be somewhat dim. But at the end of the day they were given the wrong boarding cards, in these days of more stringent security checks this should not have happened !

Answer 5

could've been worse:)

Answer 6

Obviously the airport have to take their share of the blame, and the tour company.  And they have done, in their attempts to set things right.  

But the sheer lack of embarassment of the bloke over his own stupidty.  It takes gall to be like that.

Answer 7

i blame the cabin crew

Answer 8

Maybe they couldn't read English. They might have attended a local college and still could not read.

Answer 9

It sounds like the blame is 6 of one and a half dozen of the other , both messed up.

Answer 10

lol.....oh! I'd be so embarrassed, I think, it's bad enough when ur the last passenger boarding.....lol

Answer 11

Plonkers and now trying to blame everyone but themselves !!!

Answer 12

they were given the wrong boarding passes

bless them i hate flying

Answer 13

Airports can be confusing places, especially after 7 pints of lager. I blame the Check In staff and Cabin Crew further down. Then I blame the family for not hearing "welcome to this 737 flight to Dalaman"

Doesn't say alot for airline security either. Shocking if you think about it. Any old Tom, d**k or Ali could have boarded without question.
