Ask HN: Why did I get printed the wrong boarding pass?

I took a flight from Montreal to Frankfurt. Today i checked my printed boarding pass (apparently the first time) and noticed it is completely wrong. things which seems to be in common: Flight number: AC 8742 (printed flight) AC 874 (my flight) levenshtein distance of printed name: 12, m = 15, n = 12 boarding pass: https://ift.tt/2KLxC1C Seems like the only thing in common is that the boarding passes where probably printed at the same time. Any suggestions what can possibly go wrong when a computer system prints a boarding pass, based on the scanned passport? In case you feel like that could be your lines of code, let us know :)
