Not necessarily a "tech" oops moment, but many years ago, I accidentally boarded a wrong flight and realized after fighting for the same seat with another passenger for few mins. Luckily, I was able to get out on time and run to my real flight. This is how the conversation went:
Me: Sir, this is my seat.
Person: Are you sure ? I think this seat is mine.
Me (annoyed but confident): Please check your boarding pass
Person: Ok let me check
...In the meantime, someone yells from another seat "You guys both going to austin/texas right?"
That was my oops moment. I was not going to texas of course. That seat was half way through the plane and people were still getting in. :)
- victorhn 10y agoHow was not this detected at boarding gate?
- codegeek 10y agoyea I was surprised too. I vaguely remember now but the person checking the boarding pass just took it and not sure if they actually ran it through the scanner. Sometimes, they just manually tear one portion of the boarding pass.
