I Want the $49 Fare
Published Jun 23, 2003
An airline reservation agent took a call from a man who wanted to book a flight for two but wasn't happy with the price of $59 per ticket.
"I want the $49 fare I saw advertised, " He insisted, saying he would accept a flight at any time.
She managed to find two seats on a 6 a.m. flight.
"I'll take it," he said, then worried his wife might not like the early hour.
She warned there was a $25 fee per person if he changed the reservation.
"Oh, that's no problem," he said dismissively. "What's fifty bucks?"
