Christopher Elliott Quotations

My bank has all my phone numbers. If something happens, they know how to get a hold of me.

If the airlines could get away with it, they'd charge us for the air we breathe. The planes would probably have coin-operated toilets.

I still have yet to hear a good reason why people need to go to an online travel agent when they could go right to the source. This will definitely be a big change this year.

Anyone who thinks they know what will happen with airfare is crazy. Right now, the consensus is they will go up, but probably not so much.

Airlines will come out with a fare, but then be forced to lower it as the day of the flight arrives. It's like they're playing a game of chicken with the passengers, and whoever blinks first wins. Usually, it?s the carrier who blinks.

The discount airlines have set the pricing, really. Southwest is still sitting pretty and making a tidy profit. This is all good news to people who want to fly next year.
