Calling all Elizabeth Gallaghers in Canada: Would you like a free
trip around the world?
Toronto
resident Jordan Axani, 28, is looking for a woman with the same name as his
ex-girlfriend to take a couple of airline tickets off his hands. Axani posted on Reddit that
he booked this "fairly wicked" trip in March when he and the original
Elizabeth Gallagher were still together.
After
they broke up, he didn't want the tickets to go to waste. Continue...
"Anyone
familiar with with the archaic system that is modern air travel will know that
a name change on a ticket is damn near impossible," he wrote on the site.
If you're
lucky enough to be Canadian and have the name Elizabeth Gallagher, here is your
itinerary:
December
21: NYC to Milan
December
28: Prague to Paris
December
29: Paris to Bangkok
January
7: Bangkok to New Delhi
January
8: New Delhi to Toronto
Oh, and
if you want to stay a few extra days in India, that's an option too, Axani
says.
"I
am not looking for anything in return. I am not looking for companionship,
romance, drugs, a trade, or to take selfies with you in front of the Christmas
Market in Prague," he wrote.
"If
you feel compelled to toss me a couple hundred bucks, great. Really the only
thing I ask for is that you enjoy this trip and that it bring you
happiness."
Better
hurry, though. Axani says he has received thousands of emails from around the
world in response to his Reddit post, including "dozens of emails from
Elizabeths who are Canadian." No word on how he's going to make the final
selection. There's probably not enough time before the trip to do it
"Survivor" style.
The real
question is whether it's possible for another Elizabeth Gallagher to travel
under a ticket purchased for Axani's ex.
Airline
policies typically forbid the transfer of tickets, but in this case, how would
they know? Axani says he booked it on Priceline using Elizabeth's first and
last name only (no middle name). And we know security agents at the airport
generally don't check birth dates, which are required to purchase a ticket.
CNN has
reached out to the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority to find out
whether they have any security measures in place that would prevent Elizabeth
Gallagher 2.0 from traveling.
