The surprising revelation occurred when airport staff informed Garland, a bus driver from Trowbridge, UK, that he had already checked in.
In an incredibly bizarre turn of events, two men named Mark Garland found themselves on the same flight to Bangkok, Thailand. The even stranger part? They looked remarkably alike, both sporting shaved heads, according to New York Post.
The confusion began when 58-year-old Mark Garland, a bus driver, was told he'd already checked in at Heathrow Airport. After a delay, it turned out there was another Mark Garland on the flight, a 62-year-old builder, as per the news outlet.
Seated next to each other for the entire 11-and-a-half-hour journey, the two Marks discovered even more surprising similarities. They lived just 15 miles apart, with the builder occasionally even riding the bus driver's route! They even shared a friend who frequented the builder's local pub.
