Travel Funnies <br /><br />1. I had someone ask for an aisle seat so that their hair wouldn't get messed up by being near the window. <br /><br />2. A client called in inquiring about a package to Hawaii. After going over all the cost information, she asked, "Would it be cheaper to fly to California and then take the train to Hawaii?" <br /><br />3. 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." <br /><br />Her response was "click." <br /><br />4. 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." <br /><br />5. I got a call from a man who asked, "Is it possible to see England from Canada?" <br />I said, "No." <br />He said, "But they look so close on the map." <br /><br />6. 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." <br /><br />7. 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!

Re: Actual stories provided by travel agents:

The funniest time I had on a plane, is when it back fired and a co-worker who was scarred to death of flights went running to the front of the plane screaming, "let me off this thing".<br /><br />And that was after three double shot bloody marries. As soon as it back fired I went to look back to see if he was asleep, I got about half way turned around when he went flying past my seat.
