— Yes, I need to book a round-trip, business-class ticket from San Francisco to Beijing, leaving on the 18th and returning on the 29th.
— OK. One minute please. I can book you on Worldwide Airways, leaving at 9 a.m. the 18th, with a two-hour layover in Seoul, and returning at 2 p.m. the 29th, with a one-hour layover in Tokyo.
— I'd prefer a direct flight. Also, I'd like to depart in the morning both days, if at all possible.
— Let me see. I could book a direct flight at 7 a.m. the 29th on Asia Air, and the return flight from Beijing would be late morning -- 11 a.m. -- on the 29th. Would that be all right?
