Australian newlyweds Orin and Melissa van Lingen embarked on a flight headed for what they believed was Salvador, Brazil, for the Netherlands vs Spain World Cup match. Instead, they stepped off the plane in … El Salvador after a travel agent “made an error”.
That one is my favorite. Travel agent 'made an error'? You don't say? When priceline, expedia, travelocity, kayak, hipmunk, etc all came about, the vast majority of agents saw the writing on the wall and skipped out. All that's left now is the elite agents with specializations or close personal relationships with computer-fearing old people, and the part time dumbos, who I can forgive for not having memorized the airport code of Brasilia Intl (BSB), but at least know it's the dang capital of the 5th biggest country in the world and how to spell it.
