This takes getting to the airport early to a new level.

A woman on vacation in Croatia didn’t realize until she got to the airport that she had accidentally booked her flight for the wrong year. To make matters worse, she says she spent the last of her money to pay for her ride to the airport.

Lex Portman Andrews, who only has her first name on her TikTok page, posted a video from the airport to the social media site. In the video, she’s just sitting at the airport with her hand over her mouth, and a caption that says, "As if I’ve just got to the airport and my flight turns out to be booked for next year."
