Narrative:

An unaccompanied minor boarded the aircraft (bound for gso, nc) with the rest of the passenger. I did not realize she was not with anybody because she did board with the other passenger and the ramp agent did not hand me any paperwork. While the passenger were loading I asked several times 'are you going to gso?' however, nobody responded to indicate that they were not. Once the passenger were boarded, I walked through the cabin to check for carry-on bags and did a head count. The number I came up with matched the load manifest, so I did not think any more of it. Upon unloading the passenger in gso, the girl asked me if this was the flight to syracuse. I told her no, and took her to the gate agent to try and help her get rerted to her destination. I did not do another count of the passenger when they deplaned, so I am unsure if my original count was off or accurate. The captain and I immediately notified our chief pilot and filled out a company irregularity report.

Title: PAX BOARDED THE WRONG FLT.

Narrative: AN UNACCOMPANIED MINOR BOARDED THE ACFT (BOUND FOR GSO, NC) WITH THE REST OF THE PAX. I DID NOT REALIZE SHE WAS NOT WITH ANYBODY BECAUSE SHE DID BOARD WITH THE OTHER PAX AND THE RAMP AGENT DID NOT HAND ME ANY PAPERWORK. WHILE THE PAX WERE LOADING I ASKED SEVERAL TIMES 'ARE YOU GOING TO GSO?' HOWEVER, NOBODY RESPONDED TO INDICATE THAT THEY WERE NOT. ONCE THE PAX WERE BOARDED, I WALKED THROUGH THE CABIN TO CHK FOR CARRY-ON BAGS AND DID A HEAD COUNT. THE NUMBER I CAME UP WITH MATCHED THE LOAD MANIFEST, SO I DID NOT THINK ANY MORE OF IT. UPON UNLOADING THE PAX IN GSO, THE GIRL ASKED ME IF THIS WAS THE FLT TO SYRACUSE. I TOLD HER NO, AND TOOK HER TO THE GATE AGENT TO TRY AND HELP HER GET RERTED TO HER DEST. I DID NOT DO ANOTHER COUNT OF THE PAX WHEN THEY DEPLANED, SO I AM UNSURE IF MY ORIGINAL COUNT WAS OFF OR ACCURATE. THE CAPT AND I IMMEDIATELY NOTIFIED OUR CHIEF PLT AND FILLED OUT A COMPANY IRREGULARITY RPT.
