Australia and Jokes30 Dec 2006 12:00 pm

A 21-year-old German tourist who wanted to visit his girlfriend in Sydney, Australia, landed 13,000km away near Sidney, Montana, after mistyping his destination on a flight booking website.

Dressed for the Australian summer in t-shirt and shorts, Tobi Gutt left Germany yesterday for a four-week holiday. Instead of arriving “down under,” Mr Gutt found himself on a different continent and bound for the chilly state of Montana.

“I did wonder but I didn’t want to say anything,” Gutt told the Bild newspaper. “I thought to myself, you can fly to Australia via the US.” Gutt’s airline ticket routed him via the US city of Portland, Oregon, to Billings, Montana. Only as he was about to board a commuter flight to Sidney – an oil town of about 5000 people – did he realize his mistake.
