A United Airlines passenger ended up in a surprising destination after boarding the wrong plane.

A United Airlines spokesperson confirmed to PEOPLE that one of its passengers mistakenly boarded a flight from Los Angeles to Tokyo instead of their scheduled flight to Managua, Nicaragua, with a layover in Houston.

The airline noted that the incident occurred in August 2025, and, after investigating how it happened, reached out to the passenger to “apologize.”

“We followed up with our airport team to understand how this happened, reached out directly to the customer to apologize for his experience, and offered travel credits and reimbursement,” a United Airlines spokesperson said in a statement.

The passenger reportedly realized that they were heading to the wrong destination when they had been on board for six hours. A flight to Houston would have taken a little over three hours from Los Angeles.
