Do you know the way to San Jose?
A British holidaymaker who booked a three-week trip said she ended up 1,300 miles away from her chosen destination after her travel agent mixed up her flights.
Samantha Lazzaris <span style="font-weight: bold">booked a trip to Costa Rica but ended up in Puerto Rico instead.</span>
<span style="font-weight: bold">Miss Lazzaris did not realise she was in Puerto Rico </span>until she boarded a taxi, and the driver told her she was in the wrong country.
It appears the mix-up may have been caused by the similarity of airport codes - SJO for San Jose and SJU for the airport in San Juan.
Miss Lazzaris had to fork out more than $1,000 on three extra flights - losing four days of her holiday - to get to her intended destination.
