My guess is this

I could see a passenger getting the days mixed up due to the date change on arrival, plus the same flight number flies tomorrow. Not sure why the scanner accepted the boarding pass.

The US papers first have to figure out if they’ve got to protect a leftist before they can report.

I remember an old story about a guy who flew to Auckland, NZ who thought he was on a flight to Oakland, CA.

A woman on board claims they were (or are?) taken to a secured part of the airport, and the people sitting closest to the mystery person were all interviewed by the cops.

Seems like a lot of work for a stowaway.

Of course we wouldn’t hear about it.

Why would they admit that all the draconian security measures they’ve inflicted on us allegedly for our protection, aren’t working?

We might actually demand to have the TSA abolished, or some such reasonable thing.

No United and ANA have code sharing all the time. Depending on the flight number you may be on an United or an ANA aircraft. This could very likely have been a codeshare mistake that the person is innocent of....IF they actually had a ticket.

So you’re thinking the crew did a headcount that came up one more than the electronic manifest? But why would they waste the thousands of dollars in fuel, labor, etc of returning a theft-of-service nitwit?

“So basically the boarding pass scanner is just a beedoop machine that makes beedoop noises that register to nowhere,’ “

A beeber like device no doubt.

If this a simple mistake of flying on the wrong date, it means that not only did the gate agent not pick up on the passenger’s mistake, but that the TSA security didn’t check the date on the ticket/boarding pass. Three separate mistakes not picked up until hours into the flight. If there was also a change in seat assignment made, it could be 4 mistakes, plus what looks to a 5th error in the boarding scanner computer system. Yikes.

Why not land in Hawaii or on Guam?

Imagine if CINC has the .001% deep swamp running scared. That Canadian couple set off big flags, there’s a thread on it.
