She was being crazy and ended up a world away.
This can have two meaning, a literally and a metaphorical meaning.
Like in Star Wars, where there are many different planets. You can end up a world away. You can end up a whole world away from your starting place.
Or it can be a metaphor, if there is only one planet, like Earth. She took the wrong plane, and ended up a world away. She ended up very, very far away.
