Actual comments from US travel agents:

I had someone ask for an aisle seat so their hair wouldn't get messed
up from being near the window.

A client called in inquiring about a package to Hawaii. After going over
all the cost info, she asked, “Would it be cheaper to fly to California
and then take the train to Hawaii?”

I got a call from a woman who wanted to go to Cape Town. 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,
Cape Town is in Africa.” Her response?… click.

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.”

I got a call from a man who asked, “Is it possible to see England
from Canada?” I said, “No.” He said, “But they look
so close on the map.”

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 layover 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.”

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!
