I have to agree with @memesweeper and @strickers. The system is ridiculous. I know 3 people who have tried to book return tickets to the UK this week using 241. Although most schools will have started 355 days from now, the lines were very busy. Everyone I know tried the US number. The only person who got through and successfully purchased a return ticket was actually in Miami at the time! There has to be a better system. However with all that’s happened recently, I think we need to be careful for what we wish for.
