Stranded passengers are sitting in the transit lounge ,thinking of their problems. We are going to take you to a nearby hotel, hut there are a few formalities to go through first. The receptionist will tell you what has to be done. They insist on seeing your luggage. We'll have to unload the aircraft. You'll be called down to the Customs later. We '11 look after your luggage and see that it accompanies you. We'll take care of everything for you. Do you know if we'll be able to fly soon? When you'll travel de¬pends on the weather. We'll unload the freight and send it by road or rail. The fog say persist through the night. We've reserved rooms for all our passengers at the hotel where they are going to have dinner. While you are eating we'll decide what is to be done. We can offer you accommodation over¬night at the hotel with transport to London either by air or by rail accor¬ding to weather. We can offer you a journey to London in our passenger coach tonight. Some passengers may have urgent reasons for being in London as soon as possible. We can't fly you to Paris yet, we're going to take you to the nearest hotel. There'll be a few formalities to go through. The groundre¬ceptionists will tell the passengers what has to be done. What formalities have you mentioned? What are the formalities you've mentioned? We're going to take you out to dinner, that shouldn't take long. They mentioned a possib¬le improvement of weather later in the evening. It must cost the company a lot of money. Were you in any difficulty over the change of plan? Will the passenger luggage come down to London with the passengers or will it stay with the plane? The passengers probably stayed in the aircraft. They could unload the freight and send it by road to London. Things may go all wrong, I know. What are your plans if the weather doesn't improve. Have you taken the precaution of reserving rooms at the hotel? Are there any alternatives? Under what circumstances do they offer accommodation at the hotel? We've got some urgent reasons for being in London as soon as possible. I su¬ppose we're going to start the Customs check soon. Has all the baggage arri¬ved in the Customs?
