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

• I want a one-way (round-trip) ticket to Dallas

• I would like to reserve a flight for Chicago

• When should I confirm the flight?

• Is it a direct flight?

• Isthere a stopover?

• When does the plane leave (arrive)?

• Do I have to change planes?

• How long before the flight must I check in?

• To the airport, please

• Which gate must I go to?

• Fasten your belts please!

• The plane is landing / taking off.

Checking in

• Did you pack these bags yourself?

• Have you left these bags unattended?

• Does the luggage belong to you?

• Have you been with your bags the whole time?

• Has anyone given you anything to take on the flight?

• How many bags do you have to check in?

• Do you have any hand luggage?

Can I see your passport?

• Would you like an aisle seat or a window seat? (aisle = next to the corridor)

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

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.
