The airline mistakenly sent the passenger to the Arctic
Flying more than two thousand kilometers in the wrong direction, the man not even upset.
Christopher Petkau, Director and wildlife photographer of the canadian Winnipeg, was about to fly from Yellowknife, a city in the North of Canada, in Inuvik, located three hours North-West.
In the day of the flight at the airport of Yellowknife was a computer glitch and the airline employees processed the information manually. Near the gates, Petkau found that in the moment, ready to fly three flights, and walked away with his ticket for a crowd of passengers, who, he thought, must go with him. Petkau, sensed something was wrong when after a few hours the plane landed for refueling in the Inuit village of Rankin inlet.
It’s official.
Just call me “Winnipeg man who flew 3000 km in wrong direction”
I may not ever live this down. And, I don’t want to 😉

At boot time the error occurred.
Osarsiph cabin crew issue, when the plane lands in Inuvik, Petkau realized I, and his path now lies in the Arctic town of Iqaluit. “I’m not upset, says Petkau. — Great airline, maybe the other would be so cool not flight”. Representatives of the airline First Air commented on the incident: “We are of course very pleased that our client took the situation with a truly canadian calm, but the main thing for us now is to understand how it happened.” On this day, Petkau had to fly to Inuvik for 14 hours instead of the usual three.
