So  that's what happened!  archaeologists suggest we all ame from
Africa, way back when -- so I guess we left as blacks, but the trip away
cost us so much we paled into cock-Asians, eh?

Travelling can be fun!


The following are actual conversations between clients and travel
agents.


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 woman who wanted to go to Capetown. I started to
explain the length of the flight and the passport information when she
interrupted me with "I'm not trying to make you look stupid, but
Capetown is in Massachusetts."

Without trying to make her look like the stupid one, I calmly explained,
"Cape Cod is in Massachusetts, Capetown is in Africa."     Her response
... click.

 ****************

A secretary called in looking for hotel in Los Angles.  She gave me
various names off a list, none of which I could find.  I finally had her
fax me the list.  To my surprise, it was a list of hotels in New
Orleans, Louisiana. She thought the LA stood for Los Angeles, and that
New Orleans was a suburb of L.A.  Worst of all, when I called her back,
she was not even embarrassed.

 *****************

A man called, furious about a Florida package we did.  I asked what was
wrong with the vacation in Orlando.  He said he was expecting an
ocean-view room. I tried to explain that is not possible, since Orlando
is in the middle of the state.  He replied, "Don't lie to me. I looked
on the map and Florida is a very thin state."

 *******************

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 lay-over 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 who's luggage belongs to who?"

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 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, "Yea, whatever."


I got a call from a woman who wanted to go to Capetown. I
started to explain the length of the flight and the passport
information when she interrupted me with "I'm not trying to make
you look stupid, but Cape Town is in Massachusetts."

Without trying to make her look like the stupid one, I calmly
explained, "Cape Cod is in Massachusetts, Capetown is in
Africa."

Her response... click.
