British Airways sued for sending man to Grenada instead of Granada

A Maryland man with a passion for Islamic art wanted to go to the Spanish city of Granada as part of a trip he was taking to Portugal, but a mistake by British Airways sent him and his partner to the Caribbean island of Grenada instead. Edward Gamson’s trip was ruined when the two-hour British Airways flight from London to Spain that he had anticipated turned out to be a a nine-hour trip down to the Caribbean. Gamson and his partner noticed what was happening when they looked at the electronic map on the in-flight entertainment system, but by then it was too late. The couple never made it to Spain and the airline refused to reimburse their $4,500 first-class tickets, so Gamson brought the matter to court.
