Just like anything else you do in life, double check everything and don’t trust anyone else to do the right thing.

exactly... i have made plane reservations several times this past year, and i double check everything... even if i type in San Jose International Airport as my destination, i will sometimes be shown flights that land in San Francisco...

one of the first things i check before and after i make my reservation is the flight length of time... that right there should have told him that he was not going to Spain...

not too long ago i read an article about a silly girl who thought she was going to San Jose, Costa Rica--to learn the language... but she unknowingly landed in San Jose, California... was there for a good five days before she realized! she only found out because she posted pics on facebook, and a friend of hers told her she was in California and not Costa Rica!

i think she had posted a picture of herself at a San Jose Sharks hockey game... and she had been going on about how easily she could understand the people...

dumb!

They were expecting an emotional reunion at the airport with their daughter who’s been working abroad for eight months.

But instead, after 20 hours travelling, Andrew and Julie Kelham landed 1,500 miles away.

The couple had booked a £3,200 trip to visit their daughter Frankie, 21, in San Jose, Mexico. Where they ended up was San Jose, California.

That can't be real, she can't be that dumb. Professional hockey is big in Costa Rica? If true, she needs to get a handicap licence plate.

I always check, because I fly out of and into San Jose, CA, and it's easy to mis-check the box for San Jose, CR. Although I wouldn't mind ending up in Costa Rica sometime.

I remember in the 80's they had a news story about some guy who was flying from San Francisco to Oakland and ended up on a flight to Aukland, New Zealand.
