Even when the Captain did his spiel about flying time to Lax etc. as we were rolling down the runway, I literally sat in the seat thinking that it's so weird the pilot did not know where he was flying to. Got to Lax and couldn't find my connecting flight - to discover that of course it didn't exist coz I was supposed to be in SFO.
It was a freaking nightmare getting to Seattle!
Given it happened twice to poor Kevin from Home Alone count yourself lucky!
