Funny travel stories

The following travel stories are all true, and involve people I know, bless 'em!
A guy gets on a Caribbean island hopper plane from Kingston, he is aiming for Barbados. The plane does a couple of stops before landing at Georgetown. He catches a cab, asking to be taken to so-and-so house on Frederick Street. The cabby looks a bit vacant, but being a cabby, he drives around for a while, before pulling over and asking a passerby if they know where Frederick St is. No idea!
Three people later, someone leans inside the cab and asks the passenger in person,
"Where are you heading exactly?"
He says "So-and-so house on Frederick St."
The guy shakes his head and says, "Well, I've lived here on St Lucia all my life and never heard of Frederick St."
"St Lucia? What, this isn't Barbados?"
A bloke is driving like a maniac North up the New Jersey Turnpike trying to get to the airport in time for his flight. Just as he is pulling off at the exit for Newark, it suddenly dawns on him that he is supposed to be leaving from Philadelphia. Needless to say, he missed his plane.
I was sat on a plane in London waiting for take-off, minding my own business. An air stewardess walks up to me and asks me to confirm my name. I tell her.
She asks me if I am heading to Bordeaux. A bit perplexed, I say I am.
She smiles and announces in a very loud voice. "You might be going to Bordeaux, but this plane is headed for Frankfurt. Goodbye."
Talk about doing the walk of shame down the aisle and off the wrong plane. But the sniggers from those passengers were nothing compared to the glares I received walking down the aisle of the plane that I had delayed.
