on a flight from Wichita to Dallas, i had the misfortune of sitting next to a guy complaining about how terribly American had treated him.
turns out, he got on the plane at DFW intending to go to Wichita Falls, Texas and not Wichita, Kansas. not only did he not figure it out until after takeoff, but he spent 45 minutes in the airport wondering why his bag and nephew had not shown up!!

Did he have a boarding pass for a flight to Witchita Falls, TX or Witchita, Kansas? If he had one to Withita Fallas, TX, why didn't the machine that reads the boarding pass figure it out? Or was this prior to those being implemented.
If I am not mistaken, people from Witchita Falls, TX call it "Witchita". They drop the "Falls" for some reason.
But that is a funny story.
