Hello everybody! Welcome to the EnglishBlog. In this podcast, you’ll be learning some interesting survival English on how to check in at an airport.
Before starting, let me first explain that the lesson is divided into two parts:
PART ONE: you’ll be learning the English words and phrases you need to know before you check in at a foreign airport.
PART TWO: you’ll be listening to some useful sentences on how to check in for a flight.
So let’s start!
Woman: Imagine you are in a foreign country and you need to check in for your flight. What do you need to know before you check in? Here are some useful phrases you need to remember:
Your personal documents: that is, your passport, ticket and boarding pass.
Your luggage: - suitcases, bags, hand luggage, brief case – do you have any excess luggage?
The luggage weight restrictions of the airline,
Items prohibited to carry, such as manicure sets, razor blades, knives etc.
What time do you have to board the plane, and where is the gate?
Woman: Now let’s listen to these useful words in the dialogue: pay attention to what you’ll be asked, and what you need to answer.
Woman: Good morning, thank you for using Splendid airlines, may I see your passport and flight ticket please?
Man: Yes, certainly, here you are.
Woman: Do you have any luggage to check in?
Man: Yes, 2 suitcases.
Woman: Could you put them on the conveyor please?
Man: Ok.
Woman: I’m, afraid your luggage weighs over 30 kilos, and the airline policy is 25 kilos per person, you’ll have to pay excess baggage.
Man: Oh, I see, how much is that?
Woman: It’s 7 euros a kilo. So that will be 35 euros in total. Did you pay for your flight by credit card?
Man: Yes,
Woman: Well, I can charge it direct to your credit card if you like.
Man: Ok then.
Woman: That’s done. Sorry for the inconvenience sir, but, it is advisable to read our restrictions before flying. Have you left your luggage unattended at all?
Man: Excuse me?
Woman: Have your suitcases been with you at all times since you packed them, or have you left them with other people? And are you carrying any metal objects or electrical equipment?
Man: No, No, I packed my bags this morning at the hotel, and they’ve been with me ever since. And, no I’m not carrying any metal or electrical objects.
Woman: OK, and do you have any hand luggage sir?
Man: Just this brief case.
Woman: Are you carrying any sharp objects, or other objects prohibited by the airlines, such as nail scissors or razor blades?
Man: No, I just have some personal documents in my bag.
Woman: Ok, thank you, Mr Johnson. Would you like a window or an aisle seat?
Man: Err, a window seat please.
Woman: That’s fine, Ok, here is your boarding card, you need to go to gate 22 at 10.25am, as boarding will start at 10.30am. Enjoy your flight and thank you for flying with Splendid Airlines.
Man: Thank you, but where is gate 22 please.
