TICKETS

The world of transactions eludes most of us and I for most of the time wonder how things are done in all the sectors. Today, on our air journey we’re taking a detour and going back to basics; Basics? yes the very beginning of man and his quest to go out to the world and explore the possibilities it has to offer in terms of social profiteering, economic independence and the ever favourite phrase of my Ghanaian people ‘ greener pastures’. How then do we get to our destination without a means before we even think of the medium of travel? What am I blabbing about?

The world of ticketing the when, what, how, if, why of our travel dreams. Many like me have once or twice booked a ticket online. Been part of the travel and tour team so we hardly know what goes on in the process of how things are done. After the visa is secured you can walk into any travel agency and book a flight but before the formalities you need to carry your passport with you; which has the length of time you’re going to spend in the country of your choice.

                                          

 The dream is never based on an illusion and this world is a battle field and as such survival of the fittest because your presumed date of departure is assured based on your date of visa issuance and the date you so desire to leave your country’s borders, the ticket sales person then books a flight for you with choices of airlines that are available for your preferred date and if there are no seats available on the flight and airline of your choice and you’re good to go!

Fun isn’t it? That piece of paper that has your name and seat number on it is that easy to get and oh wait, another thing, you can never leave your ticket open. Open? What does that mean? Well so long as you have a set date for departure you should be able to give the sales person your date of arrival. the process is that fun and simple and viola you’re off to get pampered with that loved one in England, America and wherever your dreams take you and one of such places is located in the Trust Towers building in Accra take a visit there and you’ll certainly want to go for more round trips and great air fares.
