Two travellers were left stranded in Spain after they tried to catch their return flight to the UK after a visit to France, but ended up boarding the wrong plane. Elise Mallia, 33, and Jessy Jezequel, 41, landed 800 miles away from home after leaving Marseille.
The couple had been on a quick trip to the port town to watch a football match against Nice. However, their mini-break was unintentionally extended after they accidentally caught a plane to Madrid.
They didn’t realise what had happened until their descent into the Spanish capital, when they should have been arriving at London Stansted. Elise, an estate agent from Fulham, said: "An hour into our flight, Jesse said he thought he heard a flight attendant say Madrid, but we thought he had dreamed it.
