| Friends book flight to wrong country — and realize it too late |
| 2023-03-10 |
| [NYPOST] An impromptu trip to Hungary resulted in two friends spending their vacation over 500 miles away from their intended destination. Sophie Alice, shared the misadventures she took with her friend, Ben Kennedy, after he tried to surprise her with a trip to Budapest, Hungary but accidentally bought plane tickets to Bucharest, Romania. The pair realized the mistake when they were in line to board their flight as the gate sign read "Bucharest," the capital of Romania instead of Budapest, the capital of Hungary. In the video captioned "When you thought you had booked flights to Budapest," a Ryanair boarding sign displays "Bucharest 08:00" while the duo mouth the word "s—t" several times with the voice-over of the video. Replying to various commenters asking if they did go to Romania, Alice responded with an enthusiastic yes. "Yes we went, of course we went, it was great," Alice said |

| #5 I'd be happy to visit either one, though given the choice I think I'd want to go hoof around the olde Siege of Szigetvar location. Sounds like they were too, other than the PITA and costs of having hotel reservations etc. at the other Bucharest. |

| #3 A number of years ago, there was a IT guy who flew back from London to LAX, and needed to make a connector to Oakland (CA), and the BA flight crew mistakenly booked him thru to Auckland. As in New Zealand. Three days later he got home. |
