Someone ask for
an aisle seat so that his or her hair
wouldn't get messed up by being near the
window.
A client called
in inquiring about a package to Hawaii.
After going over all the cost info, she
asked, "Would it be cheaper to fly to
California and then take the train to
Hawaii?"
I got a call from a man who asked, "Is it
possible to see England from Canada?" I
said, "No." He said "But they look so close
on the map."
Another man
called and asked if he could rent a car in
Dallas. When I pulled up the reservation, I
noticed he had a 1-hour layover in Dallas.
When I asked him why he wanted to rent a
car, he said, "I heard Dallas was a big
airport and I need a car to drive between
the gates to save time."
A nice lady
just called. She needed to know how it was
possible that her flight from Detroit left
at 8:20am and got into Chicago at 8:33am. I
tried to explain that Michigan was an hour
ahead of Illinois, but she could not
understand the concept of time zones.
Finally I told her the plane went very fast,
and she bought that!
A woman called
and asked, "Do airlines put your physical
description on your bag so they know whose
luggage belongs to whom?" I said, "No, why
do you ask?" She replied, "Well, when I
checked in with the airline, they put a tag
on my luggage that said FAT, and I'm
overweight, is there any connection?" After
putting her on hold for a minute while I
"looked into it" (I was actually laughing) I
came back and explained the city code for
Fresno is FAT, and that the airline was just
putting a destination tag on her luggage.
I just got off
the phone with a man who asked, "How do I
know which plane to get on?" I asked him
what exactly he meant, which he replied, "I
was told my flight number is 823, but none
of these darn planes have numbers on them.
A woman called
and said, "I need to fly to Pepsi-cola on
one of those computer planes." I asked if
she meant to fly to Pensacola on a commuter
plane. She said, "Yeah, whatever."
A businessman
called and had a question about the
documents he needed in order to fly to
China. After a lengthy discussion about
passports, I reminded him he needed a visa.
"Oh no I don't, I've been to China many
times and never had to have one of those." I
double checked and sure enough, his stay
required a visa. When I told him this he
said, "Look, I've been to China four times
and every time they have accepted my
American Express."
A woman called
to make reservations, "I want to go from
Chicago to Hippopotamus, New York." The
agent was at a loss for words. Finally, the
agent: "Are you sure that's the name of the
town?" "Yes, what flights do you have?"
replied the customer. After some searching,
the agent came back with, "I'm sorry, ma'am,
I've looked up every airport code in the
country and can't find a Hippopotamus
anywhere." The customer retorted, "Oh don't
be silly. Everyone knows where it is. Check
your map!" The agent scoured a map of the
state of New York and finally offered, "You
don't mean Buffalo, do you?" |
