II. Complete the open dialogue and learn it by heart

A.

P.

I think that nowadays people who go on business mostly travel by air as it is the fastest way of travelling.

A.

P.

As a rule passengers are requested to arrive at the airport two hours before departure time on international flights and an hour on domestic flights as there must be enough time to complete the necessary airport formalities.

A.

P.

The matter is that passengers must register their tickets, weigh in and register the luggage.

A.

P.

As far as I know most airlines have at least two classes of travel: first class and economy class which is cheaper.

P.

You are right. Each passenger of more than two years of age has a free luggage allowance.

A.

P.

No, it’s wrong. Generally this limit is 20kg for economic class passenger and 30kg for first class passenger.

A.

P.

I don't think so. As to excess luggage it must be paid for except for some articles that can be carried free of charge.

A.

P.

Of course, each passenger is given a boarding pass to be shown at departure gate and again to the stewardess when boarding the plane.

A.

P.

As far as I am concerned it is necessary for the passengers to watch the electric sign flashes when they are on board.

A.

P.

Yes, and when the “Fasten Seat Belts” sign goes on they must do it promptly and also obey the “No Smoking” signal.

A.

P.

You are right. As everywhere the passengers are warned not to forget their personal effects when leaving the plane.
