Wedding guest gran in wheelchair is landed in wrong country by Wizz Air blunder

An 89-year-old woman was left stranded and feared she would miss her grandson's wedding after an airline flew her to the wrong country.

Joe Winter, who uses a wheelchair, and her daughter Hayley Vickery, 58, were travelling with other members of their family to Ljubljana, Slovenia, for her grandson Aaron's wedding at Lake Bled. But things took a wrong turn at Luton Airport when they were separated from the rest of their party to be boarded in an accessible part of their Wizz Air plane, the Mirror reports.

The pair, from Swansea, say they showed their boarding passes to a steward and chatted with another staff member escorting them to the plane about the Slovenian capital. But when the flight touched down and they headed to passport control, they were told they were in Poznań, Poland - 680 miles from Ljubljana.
