A woman has said she was left alone on an Air Canada plane after falling asleep during a flight.

Tiffani Adams said she fell asleep while flying from Quebec to Toronto on 9 June. When she woke up, she was freezing cold and still buckled into her seat, but the aircraft was parked.

She said she had experienced "reoccurring night terrors" since the incident took place.

Air Canada has confirmed the incident occurred and is investigating

This is odd, how can the crew forget a passenger? abducted....

This is shocking. How did the crew miss her? Is it a failure of the procedures or just general human error? Hope the investigation sheds some light.

It could have been worse. She could have slept until some other passenger wanted her seat for the next flight. Or if the plane was lightly loaded she could have woken up halfway to somewhere else.

Seems a little fishy.

Ms Adams said on Facebook that she woke up "around midnight [a few hours after the flight landed] freezing cold still trapped in my seat in complete darkness."

Trapped? She had her seatbelt on. Freezing cold? It's June.

I have found that the deboarding process is pretty noisy. People are getting stuff out of the overhead storage and talking while standing in the aisle. You would have to be a pretty sound sleeper to not wake up during that. Did she take a sleeping pill? Anti nausea pills will make you sleepy as well. Doesn't seem like we are getting the whole story here.

Women??????? My mother tells me it's freezing whenever I move her air conditioning slightly below eighty degrees fahrenheit. LOL I'm sweating my you know whats off.

I think I might be traumatized if I ever get a good night's sleep too. LOL Having a whole airplane to myself sounds like a dream come true.
