Questions asked of me today...keep in mind I am in car rental, not working for an airline, TSA, or anything else airport related. I really do try to help most people, but sometimes my inner wiseass takes over.
Q. Does the American flight land upstairs or downstairs?
A. Sir, all flights will land out on the runway. As to what gate people will arrive at, that would be gate 2, which is over there on the right.
Q. (At 11:30am) Has the 1pm Continental flight to Philly started boarding yet?
A. Ahh no, the flight from Philly has to arrive first, it is due in 12:30.
Q. Why does that matter?
A. Hmmm if the flight has not arrived, than the plane to go back to Philly is not here. Pretty hard to board a plane when it is not here.
Q. Do flights both arrive and depart here? (we get this A LOT!)
A. Nope, just arrive. Pretty soon some are going to have to leave, we have 4 years worth of planes parked all around here.
Q. Can you tell me where my bags are?
A. Unless you left them in one of my rental cars, then no.
Q. How much is a taxi from here to there?
A. I have no idea. I can rent you a car for $xx.xx.
Q.How can you not know how much a taxi costs?
A. Gee sir, I don't know. Maybe its because I work for x car rental. Hey, maybe go next door to the Avis counter. Not only do they try harder, their name is also an anacronym for "Airport Visitor Information Service".
Q. Where is the upstairs?
A. Up there(points at ceiling).
