Conversations in the Airport

 Are you ready to take a trip? We’re going to start a series of lessons on practical
English for use while traveling. Today we’re going to go through the airport step by
step, learning important vocabulary and useful phrases along the way.

At the Check-In Desk

Dan is flying from New York to Los Angeles. When he arrives at the airport, he
goes to the check-in desk. Listen to the conversation he has with the agent:
Agent: Good afternoon! Where are you flying to today?
Dan: Los Angeles.
Agent: May I have your passport, please?
Dan: Here you go.
Agent: Are you checking any bags?
Dan: Just this one.
Agent: OK, please place your bag on the scale.
Dan: I have a stopover (escala) in Chicago – do I need to pick up my luggage there?
Agent: No, it’ll go straight through to Los Angeles. Here are your boarding passes
– your flight leaves from gate 15A and it’ll begin boarding at 3:20. Your seat
number is 26E.
Dan: Thanks.

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 scale is 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)

Other Questions and Phrases for the Airport

- “Excuse me, where is the American Airlines check-in desk?”
- “Where is terminal 4?”
- “Where is gate 36?”
- “How many bags can I check?”
- “Will my luggage go straight through, or do I need to pick it up in
[Chicago]?”
- “How much is the fee?”
If your bag is heavier than the weight limits, or if your bag is larger than the size
limits, you may need to pay extra an oversized baggage fee or overweight
baggage fee (this can be $75 to $300). Some airlines in the United States also
charge a fee for ALL checked bags (usually $15 to $30).
- “Please mark this bag as ‘fragile.’” Say this if you have fragile or sensitive
items in your bag that might break.
- “Is the flight on time?”
The agent will respond either “Yes” if the flight is on time, or “There’s a 20-minute
delay” (for example) if the flight will leave later than expected.
Extra questions in the U.S.
On flights going to or inside the U.S., you will probably be asked some extra
security questions before or during check-in. Here are some sample questions:

Liquids must be 100 mL or less, and stored in a clear plastic bag

Answer YES to these questions:

- Did you pack your bags yourself?
- Has your luggage been in your possession at all times?
- Are you aware of the regulations regarding liquids in your carry-on?
(Você está ciente dos regulamentos em matéria de líquidos na sua bagagem de mão?)

Answer NO to these questions:

- Are you carrying any firearms or flammable materials?
- Have you left your luggage unattended (sem estar vigiado, sozinho) at any time?
- Has anyone given you anything to carry on the flight?

Conversation #2 – Going through Security

There are two pieces of equipment in security: you put your bags through the X-ray
machine, and you walk through the metal detector. The X-ray machine has
a conveyor belt (tapete rolante; cinta transportadora) that moves your bags automatically
through the machine. You can put small items like keys or money into plastic bins
(caixas de plástico).

Agent: Please lay your bags flat on the conveyor belt, and use the bins for small
objects. to lie flat - deitar(-se)
Dan: Do I need to take my laptop (portátil) out of the bag?
Agent: Yes, you do. Take off your hat and your shoes, too.
(he walks through the metal detector)
[BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP]
Agent: Please step back. Do you have anything in your pockets – keys, cell phone,
loose change (trocos)?
Dan: I don’t think so. Let me try taking off my belt.
Agent: Okay, come on through.
(he goes through the metal detector again)
Agent: You’re all set! Have a nice flight.
The phrase “you’re all set” is a common expression that means “you’re finished
and everything is OK.”
Phrasal Verbs: SET OFF and GO OFF
When the alarm sounds, we say “the alarm went off.” To describe what caused the
alarm to sound, we say “set off” – for example, “My keys set off the alarm” or “My
keys set off the metal detector.”
Announcements at the Gate
Airports are divided into terminals (the major sections of the airport) and each
terminal has many gates. The gate is the door you go through to enter the
airplane. Here are a few announcements you might hear while you are at the gate,
waiting for the plane to board.

00:00
00:00

- “There has been a gate change.”

(this means the flight will leave from a different gate)
- “United Airlines flight 880 to Miami is now boarding.”
(this means it’s time for passengers to enter the plane)
- “Please have your boarding pass and identification ready for boarding.”
- “We would like to invite our first- and business-class passengers to board.”
- “We are now inviting passengers with small children and any passengers
requiring special assistance to begin boarding.”
- “We would now like to invite all passengers to board.”
(this means everyone can enter the plane)
- “This is the final boarding call for United Airlines flight 880 to Miami.”
(this means it is the FINAL OPPORTUNITY to enter the plane before they close the
doors)
- “Passenger John Smith, please proceed to the United Airlines desk at gate
12.”

proceed
1 to proceed (with sth) (formal) prosseguir (em algo), continuar (com algo)
2 to proceed to do sth - em seguida fazer algo
He grabbed his toy and proceeded to throw it at me.(Ele pegou o brinquedo e em seguida atirou-o em
mim.)
3 (formal) dirigir-se
Please proceed to the nearest exit. (Por favor, dirijam-se para a saída mais próxima.)

Conversation #3: On the plane

The people who work inside the airplane serving food and drinks are called flight
attendants. Both men and women who have this job are called flight attendants.
Listen to this conversation that Dan has with the flight attendant when dinner is
served on the flight.

Flight attendant: Chicken or pasta?

Dan: Sorry?
Flight attendant: Would you like chicken or pasta?
Dan: I’ll have the chicken.
Flight attendant: Anything to drink?
Dan: What kind of soda do you have?
Flight attendant: Coke, Diet Coke, Sprite, Orange, and Dr. Pepper.
Dan: A Diet Coke, no ice, please.
Flight attendant: Here you go.
Dan: Thanks.

Conversation Tips:
If you didn’t understand what the flight attendant said, you can
say Sorry? or Pardon? to ask him or her to repeat it.
If you want to ask for something, you can use the phrase “Can I
have…?” or “Could I have…?” Practice your pronunciation with these common
requests:
- “Can I have a pillow?”
- “Can I have a blanket?”
- “Can I have a pair of headphones?” / “Could I have a headset (auricular) ?”
- “Could I have some water/coffee/tea?”
- “Could I have some extra napkins (guardanapos) ?”
Finally, if you need to stand up, but there is a person sitting between you and the
aisle (corredor) , you can say Excuse me and make a motion (movimento) to start
standing up. The person sitting next to you will understand and stand up to let you
get out of your seat.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you take a flight from an airport in an English-speaking country, you're likely to hear some of
these phrases.

Checking in

Did you pack these bags yourself?

to pack (one's bags): fazer as malas.

Have you left these bags unattended (abandonada)?

Does the luggage belong to you?

Have you been with your bags the whole time?

airport where your flight leaves from)

Going through security

You need to put your hand luggage through the x-ray machine. Some items cannot be
taken on board as hand luggage (such as knives, aerosol cans etc.) As you pass through
security, you may set off the alarm. When this happens, the airport personnel search you.
In the departure lounge (sala de espera, nos aeroportos; sala de espera)

When you pass through security, and before you board your flight, you can wait in the
departure lounge. At international airports there is duty free shopping, where you can buy
goods without paying taxes.

Confirming your Flight

Some airlines require you to call a couple days in advance to confirm your
departure date. Here are some sentences you will be asked and what you
will need to say.

You: "I would like to confirm my flight."

Them: "Can I get your ticket number?"
You: "The number is 45-6-43."
Them: "You are scheduled to depart on June 15th at 1:00 pm. Is this
correct?"
You: "Yes it is."
Them: "Is anybody else traveling with you?"
You: "Yes, my wife."
Them: "Can I have the other ticket number?"
You: "It is 45-6-44."
Them: "Your tickets have been confirmed. Please arrive at the airport 3
hours before your flight departs. Thank you for calling."

Departing Date

Reserving a date to depart or changing a departure date

If you have an open ended ticket or would like to change your departing
date, you will have to call and reserve a date to depart.

"I have an open ended ticket and I would like to schedule a departure date."
"I have a ticket and I need to schedule a departure date."

"I am scheduled to depart on June 15th. Can I change this to a later date?"
"I have a ticket to depart on June 15th. I would like to see if there is an
earlier flight available."

With any of these questions, the other person will usually ask for your
ticket number. After that, they will ask you what date you want to depart.

"What date would you like to depart?"

"What date would you like to change it to?"
"When do you want to depart?"

You should respond by selecting a date.

"I would like to leave on June 22nd."

"Is June 22nd available?"
"Can you check if June 22nd is possible?"
"I was hoping to reserve a seat for June 22nd."

After you select a date, they will either say ok, or they will tell you the
closest dates available to your selection.

"Yes. We have seats available for the 22nd. Would you like me to reserve
them?"
"On the 22nd, the departure time is 1:00pm. Should I reserve them?"
"We have two flights departing on that date. Would you like to depart at
10am or 7pm?"

"I'm sorry, but we do not have any available seats on the 22nd. Should I
put you on the waiting list?"
"I'm sorry, there are no departures for the 22nd. We have a flight leaving on
the 21st and the 24th. Will either of these days work for you?"
"The 22nd is full. The next available flight is on the 23rd. Would you like
me to reserve a seat on that date?"

At the Counter (balcão)

When you first reach the counter, you should give them your ticket and
your passport. The first question they usually ask is how many are traveling
with you.

"Is anybody traveling with you today?"

"Is anybody else traveling with you?"
"Are just you two traveling today?"

All airlines have a list of questions they have to ask you. Let's look at some
of these questions.

"Did someone you do not know ask you to take something on the plane
with you?"
"Did you have possession of your luggage since you packed?"
"Did you leave your luggage unattended at all in the airport?"
"Are you carrying any weapons or firearms?"
"Are you carrying any flammable material?"
"Do you have any perishable (percíveis) food items?"

If you don't understand, you can't say yes or no to all of them. The correct
answer for some of them is 'no' and some of them is 'yes'.

"How many luggages are you checking in?"

"Do you have a carry on?" (carry on → a bag that you are allowed to take onto a
plane with you.)

"Can you place your baggage up here?"

"How many carry on bags are you taking with you?"

Afterwards, they might ask if you prefer an aisle seat or a window seat.

"Do you prefer window or aisle?"

If they are out of aisle seats, they will ask you if window is ok.

"We do not have any aisle seats remaining. Is a window seat ok with you or
would you prefer a middle seat?"

Some people like to be by the emergency exit. You can ask for that seat.

"Do you have a seat next to the emergency exit?"

"Can I have a seat closest to the emergency exit?"

If they do, then you will get a seat by the exit, but if they don't, they will try
to give you one that is close.

"All the seats next to the exit have been taken. I have a seat directly in front
of it. Would you like that one?"

Finally, they will tell you the gate number and the boarding time.

"Here are your tickets. The gate number is on the bottom of the ticket. They
will start boarding 20 minutes before the departure time. You should
report (apresentar-se) to gate C2 by then. C2 is around the corner and down
the hall. Thank you."

Finding the Gate

They will usually tell you what gate you should go to, but if you need to ask again, I will provide an
example question. Also, you might need to ask someone where the gate is located.

"Which gate did you say it was?"

"How do I get to gate C2?"

"Where is gate C2?"

"Can you point me to gate C2?"

"Sure. It's that way. Around that corner."

procedures. There are six emergency exits on this aircraft. Take a
minute to locate the exit closest to you. Note that the nearest exit may
be behind you. Count the number of rows to this exit.

Should the cabin experience sudden pressure loss, stay calm and listen
for instructions from the cabin crew. (Se a cabine experimenta súbita
perda de pressão, mantenha a calma e aguarde instruções da tripulação
de cabine.)

Oxygen masks will drop down from above your seat. Place the mask
over your mouth and nose, like this. Pull the strap to tighten it. If you
are traveling with children, make sure that your own mask is on first
before helping your children. In the unlikely event of an emergency
landing and evacuation, leave your carry-on items behind. Life rafts are
located below your seats and emergency lighting will lead you to your
closest exit and slide. We ask that you make sure that all carry-on
luggage is stowed away safely during the flight. While we wait for take
off, please take a moment to review the safety data card in the seat
pocket in front of you.
