Catching the Wrong Flight
It often happens to me when traveling numerous times in a short period that I get a wee bit confused. I wake up with a start and look around the cabin, where am I headed? Sounds weird but fitting several countries on different continents within a short time period create mind dementia. According to this Reuters piece this poor German traveler took it one step further.
BERLIN (Dec. 29) - A 21-year-old German tourist who wanted to visit his girlfriend in the Australian metropolis Sydney landed 13,000 kilometers away near Sidney, Montana, after mistyping his destination on a flight booking Web site.
Gutt's airline ticket routed him via the U.S. city of Portland, Oregon, to Billings, Montana. Only as he was about to board a commuter flight to Sidney -- an oil town of about 5,000 people -- did he realize his mistake.
