his girlfriend in the Australian metropolis Sydney landed 13,000 kilometres away
near Sidney, Montana, after mistyping his destination on a flight booking Web
site.
A 21-year-old German tourist who wanted to visit his girlfriend in the Australian metropolis Sydney landed 13,000 kilometres away near Sidney, Montana, after mistyping his destination on a flight booking Web site.
The hapless tourist, who had only a thin jacket to keep out the winter cold, spent three days in Billings airport before he was able to buy a new ticket to Australia with 600 euros in cash that his parents and friends sent over from Germany.
“I didn’t notice the mistake as my son is usually good with computers,” his mother, Sabine, told Reuters.
Aren’t we all?
