23 Problems That Only Travel Agency Workers Will Understand

7. Trying To Explain Why The Price Is So High To People Who Want A Ticket For Tomorrow

Here is a common scenario: A person has somehow forgotten they are supposed to fly home to a far-flung nation the day after tomorrow. They are aware that the price of a ticket is normally below three figures, but they have always booked well in advance. Now it is the last minute and there is one seat left on the flight that they absolutely have to get. They have checked the prices online and thought that something must be broken, so they come to you. No, it is not broken, those are the real prices. Cue the long explanation of how flight prices tend to work, and that usually it is only America where incredible last minute deals happen on flights.
