A British Airways flight from London to Dusseldorf, Germany mistakenly flew to Edinburgh, Scotland due to a wrongly filed flight plan.
Passengers only noticed the mistake when the plane landed and they were told "welcome to Edinburgh", reports the BBC.
After waiting on the runway for about two hours, the plane flew from Edinburgh to Dusseldorf, where it arrived more than three and a half hours late.
One passenger said that they thought it was a joke when they were told that the plane had landed in Edinburgh and that she asked the cabin crew if they were joking, reports the BBC.
According to her, the pilot then asked the passengers to raise their hands if they wanted to fly to Dusseldorf, and they all raised their hands.
The pilot said that he did not understand how it happened and that it had never happened before, and that they were working to resolve the situation, the passenger added.
WDL Aviation operated that British Airways flight through a leasing agreement, France Press reports.
British Airways said it was working with WDL to determine how the wrong route of travel was reported.
The WDL company also announced that they are investigating how the confusion occurred and adds that at no time were the passengers in danger.
