Georgina wanted to go to Granada in Spain, but the travel agent thought she said Grenada in the Caribbean.

Nội dung bài nghe:

Georgina Hepworth relaxed back in her seat. Two hours into her flight, she turned to the woman next to her and said, ‘I’m really looking forward to my holiday in Spain.’ ‘Oh, when are you going to Spain, then?’ asked the woman. ‘Well, now, of course!’ said Georgina. 

The woman look puzzled. ‘not on this plane,’ she replied. That’s when Georgina found out that her plane wasn’t heading for Granada in Spain, but for the island of Grenada, in the Caribbean. 

The Spanish city is 1,500 kms south of London. The island is 7,000 km away on the other side of the Atlantic. 

When Georgina decided to go to Spain she called a travel agent to book the flight. When the tickets arrived, she didn’t notice that one letter was wrong. 

‘It said Grenada, not Granada,’ Georgina explained. 

The flight attendant was very sympathetic, and allowed Georgina to sit in a first-class seat. When the plane finally arrived in the Caribbean, the airline put her in a hotel for the night and then, on the following day, flew her to Granada in Spain.

The travel agent apologised. ‘It was just a misunderstanding,’ said Georgina. ‘I’m certainly not complaining. they’ve even given me a free holiday in Austria. Let’s hope they don’t send me a ticket to Australia!”
