So we got to Heathrow this morning and I went to check in. I used the console with no problem, even changed my seat to an open row. Got to the counter to drop off my bags and was told that I had already checked in and had luggage checked. I assured them that I was standing in front of them with my only luggage. After what seemed like an hour and a zillion calls and lean overs to the guy working next to him I was cleared to continue.
Heathrow airport is HUGE - we were only in one terminal and it was one of the largest open format buildings I've ever been in. We got lunch and did a little shopping to use up the rest of my Pounds.
I went to board the flight and the computer beeped at my pass. The guy shrugged and said hopefully there isn't a problem, but it said I was already on the plane. We joked as we walked the corridor to the plane - I couldn't wait to meet my twin who had caused me headaches today - haha. As I went to my seat there was someone sitting in it! A guy! I went to the flight attendant who gathered both of our boarding passes. They both said Carrie Schmidt!
Apparently he had missed his earlier flight and when they went to rebook him they saw Schmidt (also his last name) and gave him my boarding pass. So in the system I had already checked in and had baggage checked. The flight was not even half full so there was lots of room for me anyway, but it solved the mystery of my twin!
Berlin is very different than London, but there's no time for pictures today. I'll put up what I can tomorrow night. I have the morning and the evening free so I'm getting in all I can!
