Two British passengers have claimed that their holiday was ruined when they were put on a flight to Minorca rather than Mallorca. According to the Daily Mirror, Linda Trestrail, 69, and Wendy Russell, 71, had their tickets checked five times but still ended up on the wrong plane. The mistake was only realised when the captain announced they were landing in Minorca.
Welcome to Minorca... but we are booked for Mallorca!

Jeremy Ponsenby-SmytheJeremy Smith, It's a shame that you don't have any sympathy for two elderly ladies looking for a winter break. If you actually read the article , it blames human error from the "special assistance provider" at Bristol airport. I hope these two ladies managed to enjoy their holiday anyway. Hope you have a much happier and more positive New Year too!
Can they not read?
I wrote a comment early thismorning but it seems to have been overlooked. I said oh dear, at least you got your short flight. Some would say Menorca is as nice or nicer than Mallorca, especially for ladies of a certain age. So get your airline to book you a good hotel in lieu of compensation and enjoy the island. Could have been worse if you ended up there and your bags in Mallorca. In fact if the flight was correctly booked your bags should have ended up here .
I'm sorry, these people must be senile if they didn't know they were going to Minorca. No sympathy.
