It has happened between Birmingham, Alabama (BHM) and Birmingham, England, UK (BHX) https://www.cbs42.com/news/alabama-welcomes-british-couple-after-they-booke

  If I understood that article correctly, the flight was mistakenly booked to begin at BHM instead of BHX (not to end at BHM instead of BHX). This is also a consequential mistake, but one that initially meant that the purchased flight couldn't be used, rather than that it took the travelers to an unexpected destination. (But according to the story, people then bought an additional BHX-BHM flight for these travelers as a gift so that they could visit the other Birmingham and apparently then make use of the mistaken flight.)

    >If I understood that article correctly, the flight was mistakenly booked to begin at BHM instead of BHX (not to end at BHM instead of BHX) Yes, but it should've been obvious when the flight to Las Vegas was 4 hours instead of 12

      Oh, I see, you mean the length of the flight displayed when booking it, rather than the length experienced when sitting on board it!
