A 14-year-old US boy was headed to Sweden but ended up on a plane to Germany
A boarding gate mix-up almost landed a US teenager in Germany this week instead of Sweden. Fourteen-year-old Anton Berg was traveling Sunday from Raleigh, North Carolina to Newark, New Jersey, and then to Sweden. United flew the teen, considered an unaccompanied minor by the airline, to Newark and said an employee took him to gate B65, where he was supposed to get on a Scandinavian Airlines flight. However, he boarded a flight by Eurowings which had a plane at the gate, United said. It is unclear why Anton was able to get on the Eurowings flight and whether he had a boarding pass. As the airliner taxied to begin its trek to Germany, Anton alerted the flight crew that he was supposed to be going to Sweden. The plane eventually went back to the terminal, and Anton was booked on another flight to Europe. <br/>
