1Opinion of the Court
POLITZ, Chief Judge:
Renton Swaminathan appeals the district court’s dismissal of his lawsuit for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. We affirm.
Background
Swaminathan purchased a roundtrip ticket from Swiss Air Transport Co., Ltd., which routed him from Dakar, Senegal to Geneva to New York to Geneva and back to Dakar. The flight departed Dakar on October 29, 1988 and arrived in New York the next day. No specific return date or return flights are listed on the ticket which simply reflected a purchase of an open return. Dakar is listed as both the origin and ultimate destination of the flights.
