Thank you, William, for your comments! That's exactly the idea behind me using the two-truths-and-one-lie technique. It's a great way to break the ice and reveal so much about people in a small lapse of time, which I needed for the story to develop further. After all, they're on a plane for a limited amount of time. And thanks for the book reference. I will definitely check it out. And please, keep your comments coming :)
