airport conversation any situation based ( 5 pages)
Answers
The conversation will be between the check-in clerk and the passenger.
Just for the sake of brevity, we will call the check in clerk, just 'clerk' throughout the conversation.
Clerk: Good evening, sir.
Passenger: Good evening. Is this where I can check in for the flight to Phuket?
Clerk: Yes, absolutely. I am afraid that your flight has been delayed by one hour and ten minutes. It will leave at quarter past twelve.
Passenger: What! That is terrible.
Clerk: I am sorry, sir. The delay is due to bad weather. We can hardly do anything about it.
Passenger: Right.
Clerk: Can I please have your ticket and passport?
Passenger: Yes, sure. Here it is.
Clerk: Thank you.
Passenger: Can I take this handbag with me as hand luggage?
Clerk: Yes, sure. Provided it is small enough to fit under the seat or the Hand luggage compartment. Do you have any other luggage?
Passenger: Yes, I have two more bags, which I think will have to go in cargo.
Clerk: Did you get your luggage weighed? If it exceeds 30 kilograms, you will have to pay surcharges.
Passenger: No. Rather my luggage is within the 30 kilogram limit.
Clerk: That is good. Do you have a visa to enter Phuket?
Passenger: Yes, here it is.
Clerk: That is good to go. Please board from gate three. The boarding will start at 11:30. Have a nice flight, sir.
Passenger: Thank you.

Conversation Vocabulary And Phrases
Instead of “Where are you flying today?”the agent may ask “What’s your final destination?” The answer will be the same!
You can say “Here you go”anytime you give something to somebody
To check your bags means to put them on the airplane inside the cargo compartment. The small bag you take with you on the airplane is called a carry-on. You need to put your carry-on bags through the X-ray machine at security.
The scaleis the equipment that tells you the weight of your luggage (45 kilograms, for example)
A stopover or layover is when the airplane stops in a different city before continuing to the final destination
If the agent says that your luggage will go straight through, it means it will go directly to the final destination (and you don’t need to pick it up during your stopover)
Boarding passes are the tickets that permit you to enter the airplane
When a plane begins boarding, it means that the passengers start to enter the plane. Usually boarding time is 30-60 minutes before takeoff (when the plane leaves)
