Passengers aboard a transatlantic flight from London to New York were left baffled when the in-flight safety video appeared with Hebrew subtitles instead of English.

The mix-up happened during the Sunday morning Virgin Atlantic flight VS003 from Heathrow to John F. Kennedy International Airport.

Travellers were left scratching their heads as the animated safety demonstration played on their screens with Hebrew subtitles.

As the safety demonstration appeared on screens throughout the cabin, passengers quickly noticed the subtitles overlaying the video were in Hebrew rather than English.
