Disabled gran sent to wrong country by Wizz Air

A grandma's trip to a family wedding abroad nearly ended in disaster after she ended up being taken to the wrong country by a budget airline.

Wheelchair-bound Joan Winter, 89, only found out about the mistake when she got to passport control. The Mirror reports that Joe was supposed to be flying from London Luton airport on April 9 to Slovenian capital city Ljubljana for her grandson Aaron's wedding at Lake Bled.

However, it was not until Joan and her daughter, Hayley Vickery, 58, touched down that they discovered they had actually ended up in the Polish city of Poznan, 680 miles away from Ljubljana. This all happened despite checking in properly and even speaking to airport staff about Slovenia.
