At the Airport: Conversation (Intermediate)

Good morning! I'm here to check in for my flight.

Good morning! May I see your passport and ticket, please?

Of course. Here they are. I'm traveling to London today.

Thank you. Would you like a window or aisle seat?

I'd prefer a window seat if that's still available.

Yes, I can give you seat 12A, which is perfect.

That sounds great, thank you very much for your help.

How many bags will you be checking in today, Sarah?

Just one suitcase. I have carry-on luggage as well.

Please place your suitcase on the scale for weighing now.

Sure, no problem. I hope it's not too heavy.

It's fine. The weight is twenty-two kilograms, which is acceptable.

That's a relief! I was worried about the weight limit.

Here's your boarding pass. Your gate is B7, boarding at 10:30.

Please remove your laptop and liquids from your bag.

Okay, I'll take them out right away, thank you.

You also need to take off your shoes and belt.

I understand. Should I put everything in the tray?

Yes, please use two trays if you need more space.

All right, I think one tray will be enough today.

Please step through the metal detector when you're ready now.

Excuse me, Sarah! I think we're on the same flight.

Oh, hi Tom! What a nice surprise to see you!

I know! I'm going to London for a business conference.

That's interesting. I'm visiting my family for two weeks there.

Have you checked the departure board? Our flight might be delayed.

Really? Let me look at the screen right now quickly.

Yes, it says there's a thirty-minute delay because of weather.

Attention passengers on flight BA 247 to London Heathrow.

Boarding will begin shortly at gate B7, please be ready.

I think that's our flight! We should go to the gate.

You're right. Let me grab my coffee before we go.

Good idea. I need to buy some water too quickly.

The duty-free shop is on the way to our gate.

Perfect! Let's walk together and do some last-minute shopping now.
