Sometimes the best laid plans don't work out so well. Even if you're a major airline.

Cathay Pacific is getting a few laughs this week after travellers noticed a massive typo on what we can only assume, was a freshly painted plane.

As netizens joked "no F's given", Cathay tweeted a pic of their plane with the logo "Cathay Paciic" written across the body. Yes, that really happened, somehow, someone forgot to include the "F".

Cathay responded on tongue-in-cheek on twitter and said it's heading back to the paint shop. You can check out the tweet below:
