NFT: Canadian? Elizabeth Gallagher? You missed an oppty.

One of the silliest stories I have read in a while.

Quote:
A Toronto man who made headlines last month by offering a free round-the-world air ticket to a woman with the same name as his ex-girlfriend has found Ms. Right.

Jordan Axani, 28, and his then girlfriend, named Elizabeth Gallagher, booked heavily discounted round-the-world air tickets in May, but their relationship ended and he didn't want her ticket to go to waste. The ticket had a strict no-transfer policy, but since passport information was not required when booking, it can be used by any Canadian named Elizabeth Gallagher.

Axani posted his offer last month on the popular Reddit social media website, and received thousands of emails, including 18 from actual Elizabeth Gallaghers with Canadian passports.


This EG's boyfriend isn't thrilled.

He's smiling through it because he's going to be finding himself an Elizabeth Gallagher stand-in soon too.

I agree the boyfriend is a sucker. My wife had a boyfriend when I first met her and was interested so I became "friends" with her.
I have a hard time

visualizing the boyfriend dropping her off at the airport and telling her to have a good time much less being there to pick her up. To be continued.

funny part about all of this is that the new elizabeth gallagher can't use the ex-GF elizabeth gallagher's ticket because it's tied to passport number too, not just name.

I know what the article said, but i'm surprised and skeptical that no passport information or any other identifying information like date of birth or home address was required for booking a ticket on an international flight. I've always had to include that information for international flights.

The airline's policy prohibits transfers and he has clearly and publically admitted to a transfer to a person of the same name. The airline will have to weigh that against the possible social media backlash of denying the transfer given the attention it's received/

Over twenty years now, happy as ever and with two children. She never cheated on her boyfriend if that is why you asked. She just happened to be dating someone when we fist met. I felt it would be best to first become friends for awhile instead if asking her out immediately, then after getting to know each other better I told her how I felt and after a little time and some thought she broke it off with the boyfriend after which we then started dating.

Somewhere out there is a list hanging on that dude's wood paneled wall with Steve's name on it.

LOL, my guy code about pursuing a girl that I really liked and that had a boyfriend was not to if the guy is a personal friend or if a couple is engaged. Beyond that, well like the old saying goes, "all's fair...."
