Bizarre travel tales - Passenger flies to a foreign country without passport

In one of the biggest blunders, a New Jersey passenger described a shocking airport mistake that took her from Philadelphia to Jamaica in the Caribbean, instead of to Jacksonville, Florida.

According to her, she was directed to the wrong plane, and didn’t have a passport with her. The passenger, Ellis-Hebard, who often travels between her home state of Pennsylvania and her second home in Florida, was taking a regular flight with Frontier Airlines to go for a break.
Everything was going smoothly, until she went to a restroom for a short break, before the flight was due to take off. It was when she returned that the flight was also packed and, after much hassle, she was hurried aboard the plane.
Once the flight was in the air, a flight attendant came to her for a chat and told her that she would be able to relax once the flight landed in Jamaica.

She laughed, and said ''I would love to be going there but I have a beach where I live'', referring to her Jacksonville home. After this, the flight attendant insisted that this plane was going to Jamaica.

After much confusion, the flight crew eventually told her that her flight to Jacksonville had a last-minute gate change and that she was now on her way to the Caribbean, which is around 900 miles away from her assumed destination.
However, Ellis-Hebard didn’t have her passport with her as she was not expecting to leave the country.

She was told: 'You're entering a different country without a passport. That's bad.'

But the Jamaican authorities allowed her to remain on the jetway, after she was told that it’s technically considered U.S. soil.
Also, the flight crew stayed with her until the next flight to Philadelphia departed several hours later.
