Jem Maybank realised something was wrong when she looked out and saw mountains and palm trees instead of Paris
A horrified Ryanair holidaymaker realised she had boarded the wrong plane only when she woke up in Benidorm instead of Paris. Jem Maybank arrived at Leeds Bradford Airport at five o'clock in the morning last Saturday after planning a short city break in Paris, France.
Ryanair blamed Jem for the error and it was 'each passenger's responsibility to ensure they board the correct aircraft'. "She gave me seat 27 so I thought 'fine, I've got a seat, cool'. I sat on the plane and I couldn't really hear the announcement. They must have done one saying 'this flight goes to Alicante' but I didn't hear it. I thought it was weird that it was a two-hour flight, but I thought 'maybe it's because of the turbulence'.
"I was going through Alicante border control thinking 'I don't want to be here, I've got a hotel in Paris'. I've never been to Alicante either but all I know is that it's Benidorm. They sorted me out a free flight which was good. I don't know how it happened. Maybe the gate number changed while I was waiting
