A friend has been a Travel Agent for 30 Years.
She says, of her 30 years of taking reservation requests
from government officials, we are all in trouble.
Here are a few choice reservation questions from these bright people.
Senator Tessie Oreta asked for an aisle seat so that her
hair wouldn't get messed up by being near the window.
I got a call from ex-Mayor Joey Marquez, who wanted to
go to Capetown. Explaining the length of the flight and
passport information, he interrupted me with,
"I'm not trying to make you look stupid, but Capetown is in
Massachusetts ."
Without trying to make him look like the stupid one, I calmly explained,
"Cape Cod is in Massachusetts. Capetown is in Africa ."
His response: (click).
Congressman Mark Lapid called, furious about a Florida
package we did for him and TV star Kris Aquino. I
asked what was wrong with the vacation in Orlando.
He said he was expecting an ocean-view room.
I tried to explain that was 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!" (so he expected to see the ocean on
both sides of the hotel?!)
Sen. Ralph Recto's popular wife asked,
"Is it possible to see England from Canada?"
I said, "No"
She said, "But they look so close on the map."
Senator Lito Lapid asked if he could rent a car in Dallas.
I noticed he had only an hour lay-over in Dallas .
When asked why he wanted to rent a car, he said,
"I heard Dallas was a big airport, and we will need
a car to drive between the gates to save time."
Senator Jinggoy Estrada called last week.
He needed to know how it was possible that his flight
from Detroit left at 8:20 a.m. and got into Chicago at
8:33 a.m. I tried to explain that Michigan was an
hour ahead of Illinois , but he could not understand
the concept of time zones. Finally, I told him the
plane went very fast, and he bought that.
Congressman Ronaldo Zamora 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?" He replied,
"Well, when I checked in with the airline, they put a
tag on my luggage that said 'FAT', and I'm overweight.
I think that is very rude!"
I looked into it and explained the city code for Fresno,
California is (FAT) and the airline was just putting a
destination tag on his luggage.
Former presidentiable now tv star Eddie Gil inquired
about a trip package to Hawaii. After going over all
the cost info, he asked, "Would it be cheaper to fly
to California and take the train to Hawaii ?"
I just got off the phone with Senator Bong Revilla
who asked, "How do I know which plane to get on?"
I asked him what exactly he meant, to which he replied,
"I was told my flight number is 823, but none of these
planes have numbers on them."
VP Noli de Castro asked, "I need to fly to Pepsi-Cola,
FL. Do I have to get on one of those twin engine planes?"
I asked if he meant fly to Pensacola, FL on a commuter
plane. He said, "Yeah, whatever!"
Congressman Dilangalen called and had a question about
the documents needed to fly to China. 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 accepted my American Express!"
Senator Miriam Defensor called to make reservations,
"I want to go from Chicago to Rhino, New York."
The agent said, "Are you sure that's the name of the town?"
"Yes, what flights do you have?" replied the lady.
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 Rhino anywhere."
The lady 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?"
"That's it! I knew it was a big animal," she said.
