      I guess the pilots thought that Brexit had already happened :suss:

        Makes me wonder if it is an incident that can only happen in Britain. Surely the pilot mentioned the destination pre flight or at least whilst in the air. Were the passengers to embarrassed to say something?

            Perhaps in the Destination combo box, Edinburgh comes right next to Dusseldorf, and the pilot made a one-off error in selection of the destination :-)

              On imgur lately, a guy posted screenshots of his texting with his gf, in which he mentioned flying over by mistake to India instead of Indiana. She seemed to be quite angry and would not believe he took this wrong a flight until he posted a selfie with obviously ... India in the background. Maybe fake, but funny.

                    Plausible!

                        You'll notice, in the way life works, that they wouldn't accidentally end up in Hawaii or Tahiti, with exotic beautiful women in grass skirts. No - it' :elephant:ing Edinburgh - with hairy legged men walking around in kilts.

                          Probably fake. You don't get a flight to India, you get a flight to Delhi, Mumbai or some other city.
