I am sure I posted this before.
When electronic tickets first came out, I had a PBI-ATL-OKC trip. My printed itinerary listed PBI-ATL 0 stops, ATL-OKC 0 stops. My PBI-ATL flight was late arriving, so basically had just enough time to run to the next flight right before they closed the door. Thanks to an upgrade (one of my first) I was seated in 1B.
As we landed, I was not at all paying attention to the announcements. We landed, I was the first one off the plane. Went to the rental car agent, who could not find my reservation. Finally she exclaimed "Oh, I see the problem, they booked you at OKC." And my reply of "Yeah, and where are we?" was met with a resounding "Tulsa."
There was an intermediary stop that I did not know about and did not pay attention to in the announcements. Of course the plane had since left.
Luckily, the TUL airport is on the southwest side and my hotel was on the northeast side of OKC, so it wasn't a bad drive.
