flying

Miss White is talking to a travel agent in Washington.
Travel Agent: Good morning. Can I help you?
Miss White: Hello. My name’s Miss White and I’m intending to go to a conference in Shanghai, China.
Travel Agent: I see. And if you pay the full return fare, then you can have unlimited stopovers.
Miss White: Sounds good. You see, the thing is that I’ve got two weeks’ holiday after the conference and I’ve never been out that way before, and I wanted to go shopping or see Hong Kong or somewhere round there.
Travel Agent: Oh, you’ve got quite a lot of choice.
Miss White: How much is the full fare?
Travel Agent: Well, it’s ＄1240.
Miss White: Well, it’s once in a lifetime. I’ve never been.
Travel Agent: Mm.
Miss White: The thing is that I’m terrified of flying.
Travel Agent: Oh, dear!
Miss White: Mm, yes. I can persuade my friends to stop over with me.
Travel Agent: Yes, that would be a good idea.
Miss White: By the way, one of them is in Cairo at the moment. Would it be possible for me to stop over there on my way back?
Travel Agent: Of course. There are plenty of flights to Cairo.
Miss White: That’s great. I’ll go and discuss it with my friends and then come back to you in a day or two.
Travel Agent: Good.
Miss White: Thank you. Goodbye.
Travel Agent: Thank you. Goodbye.
