A young British couple took off for their vacation in Australia and ended up in Sydney — Nova Scotia that is — because of a little glitch in their Internet ticket purchase.

dbaker points out that "Ontario CA" (Canada) is another confusing example (with Ontario, California).

If you type "Sydney" into aircanada's web site, you get:

SYDNEY (AU) KINGSFORD (NS) - SYD
SYDNEY (NS) - YQY

The most clear part is when it's clear that the flight is only 1h25min to Sydney.
