Conspirators
These are the gate agents that helped with the joke. I first approached the woman on the left in this photo. As I told her my plan, she just started smiling and shaking her head. "Oh, oh oh, that is really too much." She motioned to the others, "Come here and listen to this one." After they verified Hen and Jim's names on the manifest, they agreed to play along.
The woman in red did all the talking with Jim and Hen, and she was great. She really sold the story well. I'll probably never see them again, but they were fantastic! Thanks, ladies!
