A 101-year-old woman keeps getting mistaken for a baby because of an error with an airline’s booking system.

The problem occurs because American Airlines’ systems apparently cannot compute that Patricia, who did not want to share her surname, was born in 1922, rather than 2022.

The BBC witnessed the latest mix-up, which she and the cabin crew were able to laugh off.

“It was funny that they thought I was only a little child and I’m an old lady!” she said.

But the centenarian says she would like the glitch to be fixed as it has caused her some problems in the past.

    Meanwhile in America: your baby isn’t covered by Medicaid because it isn’t born yet.
