Man attempts trip to Sydney, Australia – and ends up in Sidney, Montana

‘I saw a mountaintop covered in white snow. At that point, I knew I was in trouble,’ says Kinslgey Burnett, who mixed up airport codes

A New York man heading off on a dream holiday to Sydney, Australia to take a cruise got the shock of his life when he looked out of the plane window to see snow-capped mountains rather than the golden sands of Bondi Beach.

“I saw a mountaintop covered in white snow. At that point, I knew I was in trouble,” Kingslgey Burnett, 62, told local tv channel KTVQ after he realised he had booked and caught a flight to the tiny Montana city of Sidney rather than the Australian city.
