It even happens to Prime Ministers

Prime Minister Takes a Wrong Turn

The Royal Air Force had a red face on Friday when they were taking the Prime Minister from London to Scotland. The BAe 146 jet of the Queen's Flight took the PM to Edinburgh instead of Glasgow! Due to "an administrative error" the paperwork for the flight had the wrong destination and the plane landed at the airport - much to everyone's surprise. After safety checks, the plane took off again for the 50 mile flight to Glasgow. Later in the day the PM went to Perth - by road.
