Cancelled Flight

A

Good afternoon Sir, may I please see your passport and reservation?

B

Here you go.

A

I’m sorry sir, this flight has been cancelled due to some mechanical problems.

B

Cancelled! So what am I supposed to do now?

A

We apologize for any inconveniences that may be caused by this. If your flight is urgent, I can put you on a waiting list for another flight this evening, but it’s on a first come first served basis, so there is no guarantee that you will be able to take that flight.

B

What’s my other option?

A

If you can wait until tomorrow, we will put youup in a hotel for today and you can take scheduled flight for tomorrow morning.

B

That’s fine. I’ll do that then.

A

Thank you for your understanding sir. I will book your flight now.
