It solved many a problem over the years.
Does the work even if it is a total falsehood. What if you have several booked itineraries that are domestic? I guess the GA won't look that up or know this?
Also, if you get bumped on the last flight out for the day, is it routine to get hotel accommodation for the night? What if you are at your departure city and haven't begun the trip? (I ask b/c I always get dropped off by friends, and would hate to call them up late at night to say "need to pick me up and do this again tomorrow morning".
