Exercise 8, page 141 1.0:01
So would you recommend that I get the round the world ticket?0:08
Well, that depends on what's important to you.0:12
It's not necessarily the cheapest option, but it allows the most flexibility.0:14
If you change your mind about where you want to go next, for example, or if you want to stay where you are for a bit longer, you.0:19
You can without any extra cost, provided that there is a seat available on the flight you want, of course.0:26
Actually, that sounds like it might be the best option for me because I haven't really made up my mind exactly where I'd like to go yet.0:34
So how much is that ticket?0:42
Well, for an 8 destination open ticket, it's 2002.0:44
You know, my husband is exactly the same as you.0:52
He flies because he wants to see the world, but he's scared stiff and feels nervous for days before each flight.0:55
I keep telling him that flying is the safest form of transport, but it doesn't make any difference, to tell you the truth.1:03
I used to love flying because it meant I was going somewhere nice.1:11
But these days I have to fly so often for my job that it really doesn't thrill me anymore.1:15
I find it rather tedious, in fact, especially when I'm flying with one of those budget airlines that don't even show any movies or serve you a meal.1:21
I've been booking all of my business trips with this airline for years now simply because they have such a good reputation.1:33
But quite frankly, I've been a bit disappointed with them lately.1:40
Don't get me wrong, I've never had a problem with the flights being delayed or cancelled or anything, but I just get the impression that their customers aren't so important to them anymore.1:44
It all seems to be about money now.1:54
You know, serving a quick sandwich instead of a hot meal, cutting down the legroom in economy, only letting you take a small amount of luggage and then charging you more if you want to take more.1:56
It's a shame because they'll definitely start losing customers if they carry on like this.2:06
