Seatbelts fastened, but he is on the wrong plane: the misadventure on the Cagliari-Milan flight
He was supposed to go to Malpensa but the route was to Linate. Passengers stranded, after half an hour the captain gives the OK: "Problem solved"He was convinced that he had boarded the flight to Milan Malpensa . Then, once you have passed the checks and fastened your seatbelts, the bitter surprise : the plane is wrong, the destination too. This is what happened this evening to a passenger departing from Cagliari. The man found himself sitting on the aircraft destined for the Lombardy airport of Linate, on Ita Airways AZ 01549.
Once the error was discovered, the plane remained on the ground, amidst the anger and nervousness of the other passengers who saw their departure postponed by half an hour . Then the commander's announcement: «The "little problem" has been solved, we are ready».

He only noticed the mistake after landing, when he found himself in Bari. The story - peppered with the man's curses in Limba and Italian and filmed by some present - had made the rounds on the web.
