I remember in the 80s a story about an (adult) man who was supposed to get on a flight from SF or Sacramento to Oakland, but got on a flight to Auckland, New Zealand.
As I recall, he was flying on a New Zealand airline and was supposed to change planes in LA or Sacramento for the final trip to Oakland, but the New Zealanders told him that the plane was continuing on to Oakland. However, the flight seemed to be taking much longer than he expected, and when he heard the captain announce that they were flying over Tahiti, he got concerned. He finally landed in Auckland, pronounced "Oakland" in the New Zealand accent.
