Good morning. Can I help you?
Hello. My name's Jill Bush. I'm planning to go to a conference in Sydney for three weeks.
I see, do you want the excursion fare or the full return fare?
Now, can I get a stopover on an excursion fare?
Yes, you are allowed only one stopover on the excursion fare.
Oh, I see, only one.
Yes. But of course, if you pay the full return fare then you can have unlimited stopovers. There's Singapore, Kuwait, Athens, you've really got quite a lot of choices you know.
Oh, It sounds good. You see, I've got a two-week holiday after the conference. How much is the full fare?
The full fare? Well, that's really quite a lot. It's $ 1,204.
Yes. Well, it's once in a lifetime, you know. The thing is actually that I'm absolutely afraid of flying. I've never done it before.
Oh dear. Um...
And I'm hoping that I can persuade my two friends to go along with me.
Yes, that would be a good idea.
By the way, one of them is in Cairo at the moment. Would it be possible for me to stopover there on my way to Sydney?
Yes, of course. There are lots of flights to Cairo and, then plenty more onwards from Cairo to Sydemy. And then you can stay for as long as you like.
Oh, that's great! Thanks very much.
