Croatia - While everyone is encouraged to arrive at the airport as early as possible for their flight, this TikToker went a bit overboard.

TikTok user Lex uploaded a video which shows her sitting in a Croatian airport and giving the camera a desperate look.

Her day definitely didn't go as planned.

At the time she was taking the clip, she was actually supposed to be on a plane on her way to the United Kingdom. Instead, a terrible mix-up led to a big change of plans

"As if ive just got to the airport at 6am and my flight turns out to be booked for next year," she wrote in the caption.

Her video has more than 4 million views and nearly 800,000 likes, with users in the comments having a guilty laugh.

"I understand you need to be at the airport two hours early but a year seems a bit too early," one joked, while another said: "I can't stop laughing."

This wasn't just any booking blunder either: Lex was supposed to be returning home on that day, but was instead left stranded in a foreign country.

"Girl I thought u meant u was in England at the airport and just got the dates wrong I didn't realise u was stuck in Croatia," a shocked user commented under the clip, to which Lex replied, "Oh yeah no I'm stuck stuck. Spent the last of my money on the taxi to the airport as well."

So what led to this whole mess to begin with?

In an update video, Lex finally explained, "They cancelled twice and let me change to day before/after and all of a sudden they're now next year ffs."

In the meantime, everything worked out and the TikToker is finally where she's supposed to be.
