Passengers at Birmingham Airport board the wrong easyJet plane and fly to Berlin rather than Barcelona after a flight mix-up. Multiple passengers report they believe they have entered a flight headed for Spain, only to discover before take-off that the destination is Germany.
Outlets describe the incident as involving a last-minute change at the airport and a corresponding gate change, which leaves about a group of travellers on the wrong aircraft. The reports all indicate the airline investigates what led to the incorrect boarding, framing the story as a customer disruption caused by confusion over flight details at the airport.
Coverage largely aligns on the core timeline—passengers board in error and then learn the destination is different before departure—and the underlying circumstances—likely tied to a gate or flight mix-up. One outlet specifies an approximate passenger count, while the others focus more broadly on the passengers’ surprise and the airline’s investigation.
