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.
do birds fly? do ducks duck?
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
