Prior to me in working in Airlines...as Travel agent USA....

I have for the past 35 years been in some manner, in the Travel Industry.
I previously worked for a Consulate dept in the USA and had a call from a MID WEST travel agent. Now we all know what Americans are like with their Geography.
They all skipped that class
Agent: Could you please book my client a return journey on the Ferry between New Zealand and Sydney Australia.

Me: AAAAHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Please Hold. Why cant Americans get a grip on the Rest of the World.

Me: Mam, I'm sorry to advise you that the Distance between New Zealand and Australia is a Four Hour flight. Let me say that it would be like a' Ferry Service' between Honolulu and Los Angeles.

Mid West Travel Agent : Ohhh I see.Just make it one way Then.
