TIFU by spelling mistake

TL:DR Purchased plane ticket for a family vacation to the wrong city and did not noticed it till the day before of plane ride.

This tifu did not happen today. An "a" was replaced by a misspelled "e" caused an epic travel tifu. Instead of a small city in Europe, I purchased a plane ticket for a Caribbean island destination. The mistake was noticed a day before the travel. The only way to correct the situation was to purchase an expensive one way ticket to the correct destination followed by another expensive Uber ride for four hours. The cab ride was scenic but the Euro hit us hard on the wallet. Wife and me are seasoned travellers but this f'up was so embarrassing that we did not tell that to anyone- not even to my teenage kid. We do plan to tell him the truth someday.

Typically, with AI, I always try to stick to A350 routes but office booked me on BOM-JFK route this time. What are the chances that it will be one of the newer 1-2-1 or the deplorable 2-2-2 older 777 on service? Anyone recently flew on AI119 in J?
