Many people, some of them travel agents, have no concept of geography. My good friend from the UK relied on a TA to book the logistics for a trip she took a few years ago accompanying a friend’s daughter to do a series of college visits in the US. The TA booked her on a FLIGHT between New York and Philadelphia. She also did many other completely insane things, to the point that I insisted on reconfiguring my friend’s entire itinerary so that it made geographic and logistical sense.
