While I’m sure this was no fun in the moment, this guy will have a great story to tell for the rest of his life (thanks to View from the Wing for flagging this).
He boarded what he thought was the first segment of that trip, which was supposed to be a roughly three-hour flight to Houston, covering 1,379 miles. However, six hours into the flight, he wondered what was going on, and why the flight was taking so long. So he talked to the crew, and that’s when he learned he was actually on a flight to Tokyo Haneda (HND).
The flight continued its journey across the Pacific, and upon arriving in Japan, United put him on a return flight to Los Angeles. So then he once again started his planned itinerary to Managua, ultimately arriving a full two days behind schedule.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
