Don't you just love the Irish? As transfer reps we have to meet and greet pax in the baggage hall at Malaga, ask their name and destination, mark them off on the manifest and direct them to the correct coach. Meeting one Dublin flight the routine went something like:
Rep: Where are you staying?
Pax: Spain.
Rep: (Thinking the next question might be easier for him) And what is your name?
Pax: To be sure but you'll have to ask de woif dat one. She deals with all dat.
