Taxi!

 "How are you gonna dial the letters?" asked Anna.
            "Honey, if you didn't know, the phone buttons in the US also have letters on them, so dialing 1-800-AIRTRAN would be equal to dialing 1 800 247 8726."
            "Oh, cool! Let me call the number this time."
            She dialed the number.
            "'I'm out, please leave a message after the tone,' said a girl, what the hell is that?" asked Anna.
            "What do you mean? Did you dial the right number? Say it again!"
            "Sure I did! It was 1-800-Airtren."

            "You, goofy girl, it's not Airtren but Airtran! Give me the phone!"
This agency was less busy than the former one.
"Welcome to Airtran. This is Steve. Can I help you?"
"Yes, please. Do you have flights to Somewhere Beach today?"
"Yes, we do. Departing from where?"
"From New York, either LaGuardia or Newark it doesn't matter."
"O-ok.  We have a flight at 6:15 p.m. departing from Newark."
"How much is that?"
"That's $159.99"2
"I'm sorry, how much did you say it was?"
"$159.99"
"Oh, ok, thank you."
"Sir, are you going to book a ticket?"
"No, thank you," Harut hung up again. His face wasn’t too bright.
"So?" asked Samvel.
"It's just what I thought. It's quite expensive for us: $160."
"So what are we going to do?" asked Tamara.
"The best thing for us to do right now is to take a bus. To do it, first we need to go to Port Authority Bus Terminal."
