Sara Poskonka, however (@facecination( ) explained how she missed not only the first flight she booked, but two more that were scheduled afterward.
In her videoShe explained that she had been flying solo for the very first time in 2019 to see her sister when, on three occasions she became confused at the airport.
First, she said that “she didn’t realize that the boarding time and the departure time were different things” which caused her to miss her flight number 1.
Sara, instead of leaving for her flight when she was supposed to have done so, “was at a pub having fun”.
Sara, who had rescheduled her flight four hours earlier, missed it because the “gate actually got moved” and she wasn’t aware because her headphones were in.
Sara missed both her gate announcement and flight. She then had to schedule a second flight for the same day.
She was once again unable to get to her flight on time due to a change.
Sara stated that “I got a telephone call from my sibling saying they changed terminals. This meant I’d need to take the shuttle bus to get to next terminal”.
She was no longer able to reach the gate on time and the plane left without her.
By the time her flight arrived, which was her fourth of the day’s flights, it had been almost 12 hours since she saw her sister.
Sara’s videos has been viewed over 1.5 million times in only three days. People are baffled at how she managed to miss so many planes in one go.
The writer wrote, “Just.. observe? Like, observe? Listen? Look? “All the ways in which we obtain information.”

A third added: “So you don’t check the gate until the last sec and repeat over and over!
“I’m frustrated for the family.”

Travel writer Josh Martin toldStuff NZ It may be more cost-effective to purchase a lounge card than pay for meals at airports and beverages.
