    Epic FAIL.

    HTH,

    SAS
    Of course the client doesn't pay for flights. I add the cost of the flights to my invoice. And a bit extra for the admin involved. And VAT.

    Ahh, that's nice

    I once gave a friend a lift to Gatwick, where he had a flight booked. Or so he thought, until the check in lady pointed out that the ticket said Stansted! Cue mad dash back up the M23, round the M25, and up the M11 at 100 MPH much of the way. (Luckily it wasn't the rush hour.) And like MF, the guy just caught his plane by a matter of seconds.
    but its very much a variation on a theme. It was only a few months ago we had arrive at the wrong airport and miss flight story.
