I subscribe to the “Travel Insider”, a very incisive report on various aspects of travel throughout the world. It’s written by David Rowell, and the URL for this week’s issue is here, although I get mine delivered via email.
At the end of this week’s newsletter, he said:
“Finally this week, did you hear about the passenger who had three bags to check for his flight to Los Angeles. He asked the gate agent ‘Could you please send the first bag to Las Vegas, the second bag to London, and the third bag to Hong Kong?’
“The gate agent said that would not be possible. The passenger replied
“‘I don’t see why not. That’s what you did with my bags when I flew to LAX last week.'”
Sadly, David’s newsletter (well worth a subscription for anyone who has ever flown or who ever plans to fly someplace) usually has bad news about travel and the industry in general. But it’s news that’s important to know. His homepage is here.
