article 1 Travel problems
Travelling should be an exciting, relaxing, pleasant activity but, sometimes, it is
none of these things. Here are some true travel horror stories.

Right name, wrong place.

A few years ago, a couple from England booked a bargain flight to the Caribbean
online. It was from the local airport in Birmingham to the island of Trinidad. At the
airport, there was no information about the flight on any of the departures boards
so they went to ask at the information desk. That's when they discovered why the
flight was so cheap. It was from Birmingham, Alabama in the USA, which is much
closer to the Caribbean than Birmingham, UK.

An unexpected stopover.
The moment you are up in the air, you can relax - can't you? Not always. On a flight
from Newark to Denver, one passenger decided to relax and tried to use her reclining
seat. Unfortunately, the man in the seat behind her wanted to work on his laptop and
he used a special gadget called a 'knee defender' to stop the seat from moving down.
The woman asked him to remove it. He refused. She threw a cup of water over him.
The plane stopped in Chicago, left the two passengers there and continued its journey.
 READING troyan School

You haven't gone far enough!

If travelling by plane is too stressful, why not take the train? A man from Darlington, in
England, read that it was cheaper to buy a ticket to Durham than Darlington. Strangely,
Durham was farther away. He thought it was OK, so he bought a ticket and got off one stop
early. When station staff checked his ticket, they said it was for the wrong station, and asked
him to pay £155 extra!

Can we join you?

The Eurostar train from London to Paris or Brussels is a nice way to travel, isn't it? Well, not
always. In December 2009, several trains stopped in the tunnel. One family said that there
were no lights, no air conditioning, no food and no water on their train. After several hours,
they got off and walked through the tunnel to find another train which was warmer.
Fortunately, no-one told them they had the wrong ticket.

We've arrived - but in the wrong country.

Finally, a story about ferry travel. During a bad storm one winter, the ferry from Portsmouth to
Bilbao spent 36 hours at sea. Eventually, it came into a harbour - in Brest, northern France.
Unfortunately, it was also Christmas Eve and there were no ferries back to the UK until after
the holidays. Passengers were left in Brest, 1,000 km from Bilbao. Their only choices were to
find a local hotel, rent a car and drive all night or try to get to an airport and a very
expensive, last-minute flight. Happy Christmas!

Of course, events like these don't happen very often. For most of us, journeys are still relaxing
- except for queues, delays, security checks, strikes and Icelandic volcanoes, of course.
