A: Next please! Hello sir, may I see your passport
please?
B: Yes, here you go.
A: Will you be checking any bags.
B: Yes, I’d like to check three pieces.
A: I’m sorry, sir. Airline policy allows only two pieces
of checked luggage, at twenty kilograms each,
plus one piece of carry-on luggage. I will have
to charge you extra for the additional suitcase.
B: What? Why! I am taking an intercontinental flight!
I’m flying sixteen thousand kms! How am I sup-
posed to only take two, twenty kilo bags? That’s
absurd!
A: I am sorry, sir, there’s nothing I can do. You
cannot board the flight with that large bag either.
Carry-on bags must fit in the over-head compart-
ment or under your seat. That bag is clearly too
big.
B: Now I see. You charge next to nothing for an in-
ternational ticket, but when it comes to charging
for any other small thing, you charge an arm and
a leg! So tell me, miss, how much will I have to
pay for all of this.
A: Let’s see... six hundred and twenty-five US dol-
lars.
B: That’s more than my round-trip ticket! |
