Flying Low

Miriam has just returned from her first trip to Israel and is talking to her friend Leah about the trip. "It was a marvelous holiday," says Miriam, "The only thing that was a let down was the flight there."

"Oh I'm sorry to hear that," says Leah. "So how did you fly there? By chartered flight?"

“No, I didn't fly there on a chartered flight." replies Miriam.

"Then did you manage to go there as part of a special group?" asks Leah.

"No," replies Miriam, "I didn't fly to Israel with a group."

"Well then, did you manage to negotiate a nice discount when you booked the flight?" asks Leah.

"No. There was no discount available," replies Miriam.

"Oy Vey!" says Leah. "Now I know why it was such a terrible flight. It sounds like when you bought your ticket you paid retail!"
