How thick can you get?

This seems like a really easy mistake to make, so easy you'd imagine it happens rather often in fact with the number of people flying every day?

If it is really that easy, which I doubt, then they should rename Birmingham.

London2?(Which is will be after HS2 anyway)
SkankLand?
Majestic?

Couple pick 'wrong' Birmingham in holiday blunder - BBC News

A couple booked a dream holiday to Las Vegas, only to discover when they arrived at Birmingham Airport they had mistakenly booked to fly from Birmingham Alabama.
Richella Heekin saved for two years for a surprise £1,200 holiday for boyfriend Ben Marlow's 30th birthday last month.
But the excited couple arrived to find the airline's desk closed.
Staff confirmed the BHM airport code on their tickets meant Birmingham Alabama, not the UK's second city.
The airport code for the British Birmingham is BHX.
"Richella's face has just gone red and she's in tears," said Mr Marlow.
"I was like - we're not going to Vegas then.
"I was more gutted for Richella than myself because it was a surprise."

Clearly didn't do their research. Fly direct from LGW. OK, it was delayed by about 2 hours, but that is roughly normal service for Virgin.

UK's second city? Engerlund maybe...

I expect the flight times might be a little different too.

On the way back yes. But on the way there the apparent flight times are likely to be quite similar, around 3 hours or so, due to the time zone changes when flying west.

Just checked some times on Sky Scanner:

Gatwick to Las Vegas on Virgin - depart 10:30am, arrive 13:15 - apparent duration 2 hours 45 mins
Birmingham Alabama to Las Vegas on SouthWest Airlines - depart 10:45, arrive 12:45 - apparent duration 2 hours.

Hang on, if I've got this right, they booked to fly from the wrong Birmingham? Thomas Cook must be laughing all the way to the cashpoint...

You picked the wrong thread to be slow on the uptake mate!

You picked the wrong thread to be slow on the uptake mate!

And which thread would have been the right thread? If you think I have the time to read in full a thread about 2 idiots getting on the wrong plane or something, then yes, I am slow on the uptake.

They both look like typical chavs. What else would one expect?

The good news is that there will be two chavs less in Vegas
