Maryland Man Books Flight to Granada, Ends up in Grenada

When a North Bethesda, Maryland, dentist planned a trip to Portugal for a conference last September, he decided he'd quickly swing by Granada, Spain, to see the famed Alhambra palace and other historical sites.

He should have checked his ticket and boarding pass before departure.

Well, He said his E tickets didn't have the Airport Code nor trip duration on them and that may be so, but his boarding pass certainly would.

It should have had the spelling of the city he was flying too... I have seen people make this mistake before... With USAir one lady booked a ticket to Salisbury, NC (they don't fly there) and she landed in Salisbury, MD... Things happen and it is not always the airlines fault.

Grenada is commonly pronounced wrong. Correct = Grenayda, incorrect = Grenahda. Hence possible mixups...

He still should have looked at his boarding pass and there was bound to have been something funky in his ticket price.

It was electronic. there was no mention of the IATA code for the destination. Says as much in the article.
