The crew was getting ready to take off when a flight attendant saw a nervous old lady standing with her backpack in the middle of the aisle. She didn’t know where to sit and she looked very anxious. The flight attendant approached her and asked her if everything was okay. The old lady answered that she had planned a city break to Manchester to visit her newborn grandson. It was the first time that she was flying and she wasn’t able to find her seat. The flight attendant told her that it was a budget airline so she could choose any available seat but… that was a flight to London! She had mistaken the gate!

Josh was sick and tired of his hometown: he was surrounded by farms, green lands and animals. He was graduated in business studies and dreamt of affluence, high buildings and crowded cities. One day, he decided to leave that world to start a new life. He went to the airport and bought a ticket to Chicago.
