Woman baffled after boarding plane only to find out that her seat 'no longer exists'

Boarding a plane can be quite a stressful time as you try not to hit anyone with your hand luggage as you walk down the aisle while simultaneously looking for your seat and trying to desperately pack your passport away so you don't lose it.

But one woman faced one of the most stressful experiences of her life last year when she got on the plane, only to find that her seat didn't actually exist.

Daisy Barr explained that she was meant to be sitting on row 26, but she noticed as she approached it, she clocked that her seat was nowhere to be found, leaving her dumbfounded.

She wrote over the video: "When you're row 26, but row 26 doesn't exist anymore."

In the hilarious clip, which is set to the Mission Impossible theme tune, Daisy films a sign on the plane indicating there should be three seats in the row, before panning across to an empty space where someone is sitting on the floor.

Daisy also claimed that neither herself nor the group she was travelling with were offered help, but they were able to make their journey.

In the comments, she wrote: "We obviously didn't stand up during the flight. We just went and found some empty seats, and no one helped us, luckily there were some."

Many people were shocked by the experience, with one commenting: "The fact that how many people from the airline would have seen your seat number and they still let you on the plane."

"I'm no expert but that gotta be breaking many safety violations", someone else claimed.

Others shared similar experiences, with someone commenting: "I got on the plane and the seat was gone. Flight attendant was annoyed at me for asking about it", and another alleged a flight attendant told them to "sit in someone else's seat."
