Two young American women trying to fly from Rome to Nice ended up hundreds of kilometres away in Tunis, Tunisia, after a mix-up at the airport led them onto the wrong flight. Their ordeal, captured in a series of TikTok videos, has since gone viral with tens of millions of views.
Brittney Dzialo and her friend Hannah missed their original flight to Nice and asked airline staff for alternative options. Told to go to Tunisair, they purchased tickets without realising they were bound for Tunis, not Nice. It was only once on board that a fellow passenger revealed the flight was heading to Tunisia, not the French Riviera.

‘Too late to deboard’
According to the women, when they flagged the error to cabin crew, they were informed it was too late to leave the plane. They landed in Tunis and spent several hours at the airport before arranging a connection to Nice, their intended destination.
A viral sensation
The pair documented the confusion on TikTok, sharing clips of their disbelief as they Googled Tunis mid-flight. One video showed Dzialo’s friend posing in front of a fountain in Nice with the caption: “NICE COMMA FRANCE.”
