A: Sir, do you have a ticket for
Flight #30?
B: Yes, I do, and I must be in San
Francisco this afternoon. I have a very important business
meeting to go to.
A: Let's see what I can do for
you. What time do you need to be in San Francisco?
B: My meeting starts at 3:00 P.M.
sharp, so my flight has to arrive by 2:00 P.M. This is terrible!
How can you cancel a flight at the last minute?
A: I'm sorry, sir. There's a
snowstorm in Denver and the airport is closed there. All flights
to that area have been cancelled. We're doing the best we can
under the circumstances.
B: I understand that, but people
are counting on me to be at this meeting.
A: I found a seat on our Flight
#2, but you'll be stopping in San Diego and Los Angeles. It does
arrive in San Francisco at 1:00 P.M. It's all I have right now.
Would you like to take that?
B: Well, I guess as a last resort
I'll take it. I have to get there no matter what.
