Last year, a pair of American holidaymakers went viral after they accidentally ended up in Africa after booking what they thought was a trip to Nice, France.
But they aren't the only travellers to make mistakes when purchasing flights across the world.
One Brit thought he had booked a romantic getaway to Frankfurt - only to end up 80 miles away from the German city.
James Cox, 28, planned the special one-night trip for his partner Chloe Hutchinson, 31, who he intended to propose to.
But when the couple touched down, he realised they were in the 'derelict ghost town' of Frankfurt Hahn airport instead of the city's major hub.
Londoner James Cox had planned a romantic getaway to Frankfurt, Germany where he hoped to propose to his partner Chloe Hutchinson
However, when their plane landed, the pair realised they were 80 miles away from their accommodation booked in the German city
To make matters worse, they were an 80-mile trek away from their accommodation and James, who works as a carer, had a 'meltdown' when he noticed his blunder.
Thankfully, they were able to find a last-minute hotel in Lautzenhausen, which served as a major American military site during the Cold War, and were told others regularly make the same mistake.
Chloe took the situation in her stride and James decided he would still 'make the most' of the getaway.
He took his bride-to-be to a romantic Italian restaurant and proposed, which mother-of-two Chloe says made the mix-up 'even more special'.
James, who lives in Ilford, London, said: 'I was in complete shock; I had no idea what to do. It completely threw all of my plans out the window.'
He recalled how he 'started panicking' when they arrived at the airport and found it 'really small' and 'quiet'.
'We got to the bit where they do our passports and the man actually laughed at us. He had a bit of a chuckle and I didn't think anything of it,' James added.
'We decided to check Uber to see if we could get a taxi and it said €250. My face just dropped and Chloe said we were 80 miles away from Frankfurt.'
He described Lautzenhausen as a 'ghost town' and said: 'We didn't see anyone while we were walking through the town. We were having to walk past all these factories and this derelict town.
'We were just shocked because we've never been anywhere so quiet in all of our lives.
'When we turned up at our hotel we explained what happened and [a staff member said]: "you'd be really surprised at how often it happens".'
Instead, they ended up staying in Lautzenhausen, which James described as a 'derelict ghost town'
Despite the blunder, he still proposed to Chloe at an Italian restaurant during the trip and the pair have booked their wedding for April next year
Despite the blunder, they still managed to have a romantic celebration and Chloe recalled how she decided they should 'make the most' of the trip.
The content creator, also from London, described seeing 'a lot of abandoned houses' in the town and admitted she 'did get a little bit worried and thought "what am I going to do?"'.
'It made it even more special. It was something memorable and silly and I don't think it could be more us,' she added.
James and Chloe have now booked their wedding for April 2027.
