Without exception, there is no excuse or any extenuating circumstances as to why a professional airman would or could land at the wrong airport to which he/she is dispatched to. That’s why we have approach plates and briefings, to ensure the intended destination airport is landed at.

Crews who land at the intended airport of destination is not good luck its just professional disciplines which are followed in the cockpit… plain and simple.
