Somehow I missed a flight while I was at the gate. Mind you it was a small plane. I still don’t understand it to this day. I was sitting at the gate waiting for them to announce boarding or watch the sign change. Nothing the whole time I was there.
Finally about 20 minutes after we were supposed to leave I get up and ask the desk staff and they tell me the plane left.
I didn’t understand how this had happened and apparently neither did they. I didn’t see anyone board the plane, there were no announcements or notifications.
I have had this happen to me.
Super early flight. Maybe 6am or something. And I even arrived quite early. too early, it would seem.
I sit down in front of the gate and just wait. Now, you might be thinking, he fell asleep! No, I was awake. But I wear Noise-Canceling Headphones when flying. And I missed the announcement about a last minute gate change. By the time I got suspicious about why the gate staff hadn’t arrived yet it was too late. The new gate was quite far away. Despite an early morning sprint through the airport I was too late.
Another amazingly stupid mishap I have experienced while traveling is that I mixed up the return date by a month. If I remember correctly I was booking a return flight at the end of February. The UI of the little calendar that pops up while picking your flights somehow automatically move to the next month of March. I was going to stay a week (or maybe 5 days or whatever). So, in my mind I was only looking at the day. Let’s say the outbound flight was on the 23rd of February. I was going to stay a week. The calendar for the return leg automatically moved to March. So I click on “next month” and pick the 2nd. But not of March, of April now.
You probably explained the unexplained. A gate change would explain why even the staff were confused, as they were just there for whatever other flight was assigned to that gate.

So you would think so, but no. I asked about a gate change and they said “The left from this gate, on time.”
Damn, that’s weird indeed.
Some say the ghost plane is still in the air to this day
