In a viral TikTok video with over 3.5 million views, an incident aboard a UK-bound plane has left passengers and viewers amused. The clip captures the moment when a passenger, after a two-hour nap, awoke believing he had arrived at his destination, only to discover that the aircraft was still stationed at the gate.
Filmed by fellow traveler Fiona Weizman, the video showcases the passenger's confusion and subsequent laughter upon realizing the truth. Weizman humorously reflects in the video caption that she and others found the situation more amusing than the sleepy traveler himself. Apologetically, she informs him that they still haven't departed.
According to reports, the dozing traveler fell asleep on an EasyJet flight scheduled to travel from London, UK to Split, Croatia. When he regained consciousness, he observed the plane on a runway, leading him to mistakenly assume they had reached their Eastern European destination.

In conclusion, the video capturing this passenger's delightful confusion has received widespread attention, entertaining viewers and giving rise to a multitude of personal anecdotes related to misjudging in-flight time. It serves as a humorous reminder that sometimes even a long nap might not transport us to our intended destinations as swiftly as we hope.
