Unable to locate their tickets among a pile at the desk , Mr Tasker was perplexed by the Wiltons ' story , in which the couple had bought the holiday ( or rather , a letter of entitlement from the travel agent ) from Alec Gilroy when he was told by his doctor not to fly due to an ear infection . Mr Tasker muddied the waters further by referring to the Wiltons as Mr and Mrs Gilroy , a mistake he continued to make throughout his dealings the couple despite their emphatic corrections . Having traced the error to Rosamund Travel , Mr Tasker tried to get in touch with the manager Mr Wilkinson by phone , but got no answer by closing time and so the Wiltons missed their flight .
