“This is a huge red flag to me.”
Woman Says Husband Boarded Plane Without Her Due to Ticket Mix-Up, Sparking Viral Debate
A TikTok video by Jaime Wystub (@jaimewystub) has gone viral with over 6.1 million views, showing her stranded at an airport gate while her husband’s plane taxis onto the tarmac.
“At the airport. Guess where my husband is? He’s on that flight,”
she says, flipping the camera to the plane. “Guess where I’m not? Ask me why not? He got my birthday wrong.”
The mix-up occurred when her husband accidentally entered the wrong birthdate while booking her ticket, leaving her unable to board. Since airlines require that identifying details match those on a ticket, she was forced to rebook her flight. She captioned the video, “You win some, you lose some.”
Viewers Call for a ‘Divorce’
Comments poured in with viewers suggesting Wystub “file for divorce” and calling it a “red flag.” “I hope there’s an ex-husband update!!” one user wrote, while another added, “May this type of love never find me.” Others were critical of her husband’s apparent mistake. “This is a huge flag to me. Like, you don’t know my birthday, then get on the plane without me? Yeah, you won’t see me again,” one person commented.
Wystub’s Take on the Situation
Despite the backlash, Wystub brushed off the incident in two follow-up videos, explaining her husband had to be on the flight to complete essential fire training for work. She admitted she could see herself making a similar mistake and confirmed she was rebooked on the next available flight.
A Series of Unfortunate Events
In a final update, Wystub shared that her travel woes didn’t end there. Her rebooked flight was delayed due to bad weather, and the airline misplaced her luggage. However, her husband redeemed himself by driving three hours to pick her up and bring her to their destination, turning an otherwise frustrating day into a sweet reunion.
