At the Airport
Pal arrived at the airport two hours ago to catch her plane to Tokyo. At the check-in
counter, a ticket agent looked at her ticket and her passport, and her baggage was
checked in/weighed on the scales. Pat's suitcases were very heavy, so she had to pay an
excess baggage charge (amount of money for additional weight). Next, she was given a
boarding pass (a ticket that allows her to get on the plane). The boarding pass has a seat
number written on it, and Pat was given a window seat in the non-smoking section. Her
suitcases were labeled and set off to be loaded into the hold of the airplane.
While waiting for the flight to be called. Pat goes to the newsstand to buy a newspaper.
Then, she goes through the security check, where her carry-on luggage (the bags she is
keeping with her on the plane) is searched. Then Pat goes into the duty-free shop where
she has a chance to buy some things cheaply. The goods she buys here are cheap
because they are not taxed.
In the departure lounge Pal joins the other passengers who are sitting and waiting until it is
time for their flight to depart. After a few minutes Pat hears the announcement: “Flight 156
to Tokyo now boarding at Gale Three”, and she goes to board (get on) her plane.

Business trip abroad
The day before your journey, study again the data in your ticket: airport of departure, the
airline you are going to fly by (your carrier), flight number, departure check-in time (the time
by which passengers should be at the airline check-in desk to be accepted for the flight),
the departure time for the aircraft.
If you fail to arrive at the check-in in due time, you will not be accepted for transportation
on the flight for which you have reserved a seat.
The outgoing passengers may leave the country only if they have an exit visa and a foreign
passport. At every international airport there is a customs control. A passenger may carry
duty free articles if they are for personal use. Restricted articles may be imported, but in
this case they liable the customs duty.
When you arrive abroad the first thing you will think about is where to stay. Almost always
people stay at hotels or guest-houses. It is necessary to book a room in advance by letter,
telephone or telegram. Otherwise you may arrive at the hotel and be told that there are no
rooms available. On arrival at the hotel go to the reception desk and confirm your
reservation. The clerk will then give you a registration form to fill in and sign (the form is
usually filled in block letters). At large hotels you may ask for any service by telephone.
You tell the operator if you wish to be called at a certain time, you call room service when
you want a meal or drinks sent up to your room, valet or maid service if you need
something (a suit or dress) cleaned or pressed. Let the hotel management know well in
advance the day and the time of your departure.

Task 11. Answer the following questions:

1. What problem will you face if you fail to arrive at the check in due time?
2. What condition can the out-going passengers leave the country on?
3. What do you call the card they give you with the seat number on it?
4. What do you call the part of the airport you walk through when you arrive or depart?
5. What do you call the people who look after you on the plane?
6. What do you call the place where you collect your luggage after you land?
7. What cards do you show when passing through customs?
8. What is the most interesting and the most boring part of flying (from check in to the time
you leave the airport at your destination)?
