A British couple planning a family vacation to Spain was mistakenly flown to Lithuania instead of Barcelona due to a mix-up at Bristol Airport. The couple, Mr. and Mrs. Gore, who required special assistance, were assured they were on the correct flight but ended up in Kaunas, Lithuania. Despite having boarding passes for Barcelona, they were flown to the wrong destination. The couple described the experience as a "nightmare" and felt distraught. Their bags arrived two days later in Barcelona after they were rerouted. Bristol Airport and Ryanair are investigating the incident to prevent similar occurrences in the future. The couple's family, who did not require special assistance, arrived in Barcelona as planned. The Gores were eventually flown to Barcelona after alerting officials about the mistake.
