Confused air passenger falls over backwards after walking onto the luggage conveyor belt at check-in believing it will whisk her to her plane in Turkey

  • Her blunder was caught on CCTV at the newly opened Istanbul Airport in Turkey
  • She marched confidently up the ramp to the bafflement of the check-in staff 
  • Her knees buckled and she crashed down on to the belt, forcing staff to halt it 

The is the hilarious moment a first-time flyer stepped on to a luggage conveyor belt hoping to be whisked down to the plane.

But after cautiously walking on to the moving bag transporter, the confused female passenger is scooped off her feet and crashes down on her back.

Her embarrassing blunder was captured on CCTV at the recently opened Istanbul Airport in Turkey.

The short clip shows the woman – dressed in a pink top and shorts – march confidently past the check-in staff and up on to the ramp leading to the conveyor belt.

As she nears the belt, she stops and looks perplexed as a suitcase – not a person – rolls past.

But she steps on to the transporter anyway, to the bafflement of the check-in staff who move in to pull her back.

Yet suddenly her knees buckle and she thuds down on to the conveyor belt and is briefly carried down the track before the airport staff halt it.    

The worried staff rush over, to check that the woman is ok, which she appears to be because she throws her arms aloft.

It is unclear whether she does this to make a joke at herself, or if it’s done in despair.
