Istanbul: Airports can be confusing sometimes especially for a first-time flyers. A video has gone viral of a woman, reportedly a first-time flyer, climbed onto a luggage conveyor belt at a check-in counter. She apparently thought it would lead her to the aircraft.

The incident was recorded on a CCTV camera at the Istanbul Airport in Turkey, reported The Sun.

CCTV footage showed the woman checking in her luggage at the counter. After that, instead of heading towards the terminal, she stepped onto the luggage belt even as people around her looked puzzled. Unable to maintain her balance, she then fell down.

Watch the CCTV footage below:
