Airline worker tells passenger passport is about to expire, only to reveal it's actually still valid until 2029. The bizarre incident has left Twitter users baffled.
A woman recently shared a viral post detailing her frustrating experience at an airport check-in counter, where she was told by an airline worker that her passport was due to expire within six months - but in reality, it wouldn't be expiring until July 8, 2029. The passport issued on July 9, 2019, showed a validity period of nearly a decade from now.
The post has garnered over 1 million views since its November 3rd posting, with users expressing their confusion and amusement at the mistake. While some believe it's possible that the airline worker was distracted or misread the passport information, others have questioned how such an error could happen.
One user joked that perhaps the employee had a birthday coming up within six months and got confused about dates of birth, while another suggested that maybe there was some sort of mix-up with the passport itself. The woman behind the post eventually won out after being moved to a window seat at the last minute.
It's unclear who will be held accountable for the airline worker's mistake - but one thing is certain: it has left many people scratching their heads and wondering how something so basic could go so wrong.

so like this person goes to check in at the airport and the airline staff is like "hey ur passport is expiring soon" but turns out it's actually still good till 2029!!! 
what if they just phoned it in that day or something? idk how a human could mess up something as simple as dates lol. maybe they were having a bad morning and their brain just melted 
I mean, come on! It just doesn't add up, you know? I'd be flabbergasted if that happened to me too... I think the airline worker was probably really busy or had a bad day, but still 
, it's just basic human stuff like checking passports validity. Anyone who can remember their own birthday and not get it mixed up is usually fine! 
And what's with all the speculation? Honestly, I'm more worried about the person behind that viral post - all that stress from having to deal with an airline worker mistake... no thanks 
maybe the employee was having a bad day or something, but still, how do they not know when ur passport is expiring? 
and btw if someone gets confused about ur bday bc u're getting close to it, that's not the airline worker's problem 
guess some ppl just need to fact check more often 
️
!
and maybe this will teach airlines to double-check passport info in the future 
but seriously, how do you mess up something as simple as a passport exp date? 
As for who'll get blamed, idk but it's def not the passenger, she's just trying to get to her destination 
It's not like it's rocket science. And what about the woman who got bumped to a window seat at the last minute? Is that some sort of compensation for the mistake? It's just another example of how our system is rigged against us. 
We need to start holding these agencies accountable for their mistakes and making sure they're not passing the blame down the line. 
. but seriously airlines need to double check their info before making those kinds of announcements 
.
. But seriously, that's some crazy oversight! 
, and kudos to her for not freaking out too much 
It's a wonder she didn't fly out with expired docs. And what's the deal with those airline workers, anyway? They seem to have all the time in the world to make up random stuff. This just reeks of a sloppy system, you know? 
it's like they were busy or just plain careless... but i guess we'll never know for sure
