THE BOTTLE

Misunderstandings are common but sometimes it leads to confusion, Allowances differ when traveling international and domestic. Sheela is allocated on the counter and suddenly pax approaches her.

 

PAX: Good morning, here's my ticket and my id card.

SHEELA: Good morning, please keep the bags for check-in

PAX:  Are we allowed to take a bottle in hand??

SHEELA: Yes sir.

PAX: After some time.

PAX: Your colleague is asking me to give the bottle in check-in and you are telling it's allowed in hand (angrily)

SHEELA: Bottle is allowed, may I know is it of metal??

PAX: Alcohol, it's an alcohol bottle.

SHEELA: Please check In as it is not allowed in hand when flying domestic.

PAX: Why didn't you tell me before?? 

SHEELA: Sir you asked if the bottle is allowed, the bottle can be of water, milk, or empty how will I know it's alcohol?

PAX: Okay whatever take the bottle now, I mean the bag in check-in.

 

Sheela now asks if there is any alcohol bottle in hand.

MARRY:? (Open-mouthed)

PAX:  Why are you not answering?

MARRY: Sir you are standing on the ground and the flight is flying into clouds hence there is a difference you might see the sky from here but the flight is unable to see the ground.
