Airport English - At the Airport - Spoken English Lesson 

Fantastic video! The situations were very similar to reality hehe I remember that when I went to London I had the same problem about liquids in my carrying bag 😅 i got nervous because IT was my first experience outside my country. now I know how to react. 😀

One of the best English lessons on the internet.Thank you so much

Here's the transcript, if you need it. Also, at the bottom, I wrote down the most important expressions to put in a text box aside. Anyway, very useful video! :) PART 1 (Checking in) Bill: Hello! Officer: Hello there! Where are you flying to today? Bill: I am going to London. Officer: And have you checked in online already? Bill: Yes, I have. But… I was wondering. Can I change my seat? I have an aisle seat, but I would really like a window seat if that is possible. Officer: Let’s have a look. Can I have your passport, please? Bill: Yes, of course! Officer: Thank you! One minute! Let me check if there is another seat available. Yes, we can do that, sir! Bill: Excellent! Officer: Do you need a paper copy of your boarding pass? Bill: No, thanks. I have it on my phone. Officer: And do you have any bags to check in? Bill: No, I only have a carry-on bag. Officer: That’s fine. You just need to put this tag on it. Bill: Like this? Officer: That’s perfect! Well, you are ready to go. Enjoy your trip! Bill: Thank you very much! PART 2 (Dealing with problems at the check-in) Officer: I’m sorry Ma’am, but this bag is overweight. The limit is 23 kilos. You either need to take some things out or pay for the excess. Lucy: How much is the excess? Officer: It’s 50 euros for a bag up to 32 kilos. Lucy: That’s expensive! I will try to take some things out. --- Officer: I’m sorry, but the flight is delayed by at least 2 hours. Bill: So, when do you expect the plain to leave? Officer: Right now, we expect it to depart at 10:30 PM. I do apologize for the inconvenience. Bill: Well, I guess there is nothing we can do. Officer: Thank you for your patience. You can check the departure boards for updated boarding times and flight information. --- Officer: I’m sorry, but your flight has been cancelled due to bad weather. Lucy: But I really need to be in London tomorrow afternoon. What’s the next available flight? Officer: Well, let me see what we can do. We do have a flight leaving tomorrow morning, that I can switch you to. Lucy: What time in the morning? Officer: It leaves here at 7 AM and it arrives at 10. Lucy: That would be fine. Officer: Right. Here is your printed confirmation. And again, I’m very sorry for the trouble. Lucy: That’s okay. It’s not your fault. Are there any hotels near the airport? Officer: Yes, of course. If you go to the customer’s service over there, you can claim a voucher for a hotel and meals. Lucy: Excellent. Thank you. Officer: You’re welcome. PART 3 (Going through security) Officer: Is this your bag, sir? Bill: Yes, it is. Officer: We need to search it. Do you have any liquids? Bill: No problem. No, I don’t think so. Officer: I’m afraid we need to take this bottle. You are allowed containers up to 100 ml maximum. Bill: Okay, sorry. I completely forgot. Officer: And this Swiss knife has to go too. Bill: But it is important to me! Officer: I can take it or you will have to go back and check this bag. Bill: Well, I don’t have times for that. I guess you will have to take it. Officer: Very well, sir. Here is your bag. Bill: Thanks! --- Lucy: Excuse me, I’m very late for my flight, can I go to the front of the line? Officer: Okay, come forward quickly. Make sure everything is out of your pockets and please place laptops in a separate tray. Please step over this way, Ma’am. Lucy: I’m really late for my flight, could I just…? Officer: Ma’am, please step over here, stand on the marks of the floor and raise your arms above you. Do you have anything in your pockets? Lucy: Yes, sorry. I still have some money and my keys. Officer: Please put them in the tray and come through again. Lucy: And where is my bag? Officer: It looks like your bag needs to be searched. Lucy: This is ridiculous. I’m going to miss my flight. Officer: Do you have anything sharp in here? Lucy: No, nothing. Officer: You can’t take this jar on the airplane. Lucy: Why not? Officer: It is a liquid Ma’am, no liquids over 100 ml. Lucy: This is crazy, it is only honey! Officer: I am afraid those are the rules. Lucy: Fine, keep them! PART 4 (On the plane) Flight attendant: Excuse me sir, would it be alright if we put your bag in the overhead locker? Bill: Well, I prefer to keep it with me. Flight attendant: It is just that you are sitting in an emergency exit row. We can’t have anything on the floor. Bill: Okay. Do what you must. Flight attendant: I also need to ask you to raise your window blind and make sure your seatback is in the upright position for taking off. Bill: Why do I have to do all this? Flight attendant: It is standard position for takeoff, sir. You can recline your seat and take your bag down once we are airborne. --- Flight attendant: Hello, can I help you? Lucy: Yes, I ordered a special meal online, but it hasn’t arrived yet. Flight attendant: Okay, I can go and check. Which meal did you order? Lucy: The gluten-free option. Flight attendant: Oh, I’m sorry, I think that there has been a mistake. We just gave out the last gluten-free meal. Lucy: But I ordered it online! Flight attendant: I’m so sorry! There must have been some confusion. You can have anything else from our menu. Lucy: I can only eat gluten-free dishes, so that is no use. Also, my screen is not working. Flight attendant: I’m very sorry about that, Ma’am. Lucy: It is a 12-hour flight. What am I supposed to do? No food and no TV? Flight attendant: Ma’am, we can offer you an upgrade to business class, so that you have a working TV screen. Lucy: Business class? Let’s go! Flight attendant: Follow me please, Ma’am. PART 5 (ARRIVAL) Bill: Hello Border control officer: Hello. What is the purpose of your visit? Bill: I have a business meeting. Border control officer: Where is the meeting? Bill: It is at a Law firm, in London. Border control officer: And how long are you staying? Bill: Until Tuesday. Border control officer: Please put your right hand on the scanner. Thank you. Now look into the camera here. One, two, three. That’s great. Thank you and enjoy your stay! Bill: Thank you! EXTRA EXPRESSIONS: Where are you flying to today? Have you checked in online already? Can I have your passport, please? / Do you have your passport? Do you need a paper copy of your boarding pass? Do you have any bags to check in? / Do you need to check in any bags? Could I change my seat? Can you confirm that I have a vegetarian meal? Do you have any seats in the exit row? Do you have any liquids? Do you have anything in your pockets? Is this your bag? Fasten your seatbelt Stow your tray table Raise your window blind Move your seat back to the upright position. Stow your luggage in the overhead locker or under the seat in front of you. Take off your headphones.

A coherent and very well real simulated discussion

Thanks a lot that helped me a lot,keep going guys

In my experiences, two times i was late and one time my flight was cancelled. Really stressful situations. Generally, travel by plane is not a so good option. You need to stay at the airport hours before and, generally, the airports are so distants of the downtown, so you need to pay more and spend more time to access some places. I'm looking a boring person talking this way, hehehe. There are so many good things too, like the really glad experience that are to visit distant countries. Thank you for the lesson!

Thanks so much!!! I am gonna take a first flight in my life.

That moment when my English teacher give me this link for this awesome video learning what i need to know for speak with airport personel

Happy New year teachers perfect video but short and thank you so much

Thanks

Hey. The process at the airport is checking in the bags, documents and posibility of change the seat, the mean problems is overweigth de bags and delayed, cancell or changes the flight.. the means rules it's about transport of liquids 100 ml maximun.

Great ! Keep it up please.

In the summer of 2017, my family flied to Athens for holiday, while the carrier Russian Airlines forgot our baggages in the transfer airport Moscow, which were sent to our hotel 24 hours later and brought us so much inconvenience. However when we came back, the Russian Airlines offered us an upgrade to business class seats. In fact we did not ask for that and they just did without telling us why. It was really a nice, funny and impressive story!

Good

Good

I plan my trip, the first is check in, in the airport, validate the documents passport and boarding pass. Then check in suitcase, can not weigh more twenty three kilos, otherwise should pay, the rule is the person should arrive on time for can board and travel.

The processes at the airport are, the check in, inspeccion of the passager and baggage. Some problems that people have are, the baggage might be overweight, the fligth might be delayed or even cancelled. Some regulations at the airport are, the limit is 23 kilos, the liquids 100 ml maximum and the swiss knife is not allowed in the pocket.

Is there anyone who haven't ever go to the airport like me ^^. Because I don't have any occasion to fly. I travel by bus. My unniversity nears my house so i go by motorbike. Thank you for you video, it will help me in the future if i have a flight. You can explain to me difference between passport and visa ?
