Man left seeing double after meeting his doppelganger on a plane

A man has spoken of the “total weirdness” of encountering his doppelganger after boarding a flight to see him sitting in his seat.

Neil Thomas Douglas, a photographer from Glasgow, was travelling to Galway via London Stansted on Thursday night when he came face to face with the bearded stranger.

He said: “When I got on the Ryanair flight, there was a dude already in my seat – when the guy looked up, I thought: ‘He looks like me’.
