Do they speak English in Britain and who’s driving the ship?! Some questions travel agents get are a little more questionable than others…
Travel agents get asked a lot of questions, most of them legit, some inappropriate, and some just incredibly funny. Here are 20 very strange requests people have asked their travel agents according to the American Society of Travel Agents (ASTA).
1. “Can you book two rooms in different parts of the resort — one for me and my wife, and the other for my girlfriend?”
2. “Is our relationship like a client/lawyer relationship?” (ASTA wonders if this is the same client who asked the previous question.)
3. “Can you guarantee that no pet has ever been in the hotel room?”
4. “Do they speak English in Britain?”
5. “Can you please book the honeymoon suite for us and another couple?”
6. “Can you please plan a honeymoon for me, my bride, and my mother?”
7. “Can I fish off of the cruise ship?”
“Does the crew actually sleep on-board the cruise ship?”
8. “Does the crew actually sleep on-board the cruise ship?”
9. “Don’t tell my fiancee this is where I took my first wife for our honeymoon.”
10. “I would like to go somewhere where they are NOT a lot of men.”
11. “I would like to meet Elvis.”
12. “I’d like to get married in the Caribbean on an island where the marriage is not legal in the US.”

14. “Will you watch my pet while I’m away?”
15. “Are there toll roads on the way to Hawaii?”
16. “How can I get to Europe without going by air or sea?”
17. “I’d like to visit Scotland and Denmark on the same trip. (Agent then tells client he does not have time in his schedule to travel the distance.) But they’re only an inch apart on the map!”
18. “Can you set it up so that the whales jump in the background at the same time I’m proposing to my girlfriend?”
“Can you ask the airline to block the seat next to me so I can stretch out?”
