Do you know your Dakar from your Dhaka? Airline mix-up sends couple 7,000 miles off-course to wrong continent

US couple found themselves 7,000 miles away from destination and on the wrong continent

Travel nightmares come in many forms: Forgotten passports, missed flights, lost luggage...grotty hotel rooms.

All irritating, no doubt; but spare a thought for US couple Sandy Valdiviseo and her husband Triet Vo who ended up 7,000 miles from their destination after an airport code mix-up.

The couple had planned to fly from Los Angeles to Dakar, Senegal, but instead found themselves 7,000 miles away in Dhaka, Bangladesh, after their carrier mixed up the airport codes.

The bizarre situation resulted in a travel nightmare for the couple who found themselves not only in the wrong destination, but on completely the wrong continent. Turkish Airlines had confused the airport codes mixing-up Dakar, which is DKR, with Dhaka, which is DAC.
