But of all of these cases, one seems to have produced more "big mistakes" for travelers than any other: Sydney (Australia) and Sydney, Nova Scotia (Canada). So, how many times has this taken place?
In August 2002, young British tourists flying from London ended up in Nova Scotia rather than Australia. 19 years old at the time, Raeoul Sebastian and Emma Nunn, purchased their tickets from a travel agent and flew from London to Halifax. Their connection in Halifax took them to Cape Breton.
"As soon as I saw the sign 'Sydney, Canada,' I knew that obviously it can't be a mistake...I knew we couldn't be going to get on another plane. I thought, 'Oh my gosh, we're in Canada.'" -Emma Nunn
Seven years later, in August 2009, The Daily Mail put out an article titled "Dopey Dutch pair set off Down Under and end up in Sydney... Canada." This was the story of Joannes Rutten and his grandson landing in Sydney, Nova Scotia, after a long journey from Amsterdam. An Air Canada employee stated at the time,"'They arrived with no money. All they had was Australian money."
Like the 2002 incident, the pair had booked their trip through a Dutch travel agency, and so it's uncertain if this was the fault of the travelers or the travel agency. The Daily Mail article notes that this mistake also happened in 2008 with an Argentinean woman.更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
