flight attendant:

• It's been a great flight so far.
• Can you tell me when we will begin our approach?
• Oh, I thought we were further out than that!
• Is there a lot of traffic at the airport?
• Well, I'd better make sure the cabin is prepared for landing.

copilot:

• Yes, it's gone very well.
• We expect it will be in about thirty minutes.
• We might have to circle a few times before we begin our descent, though.
• Yeah, that's what the control tower in Denver told us. I'll mention it in the approach announcement as we may not land in time.
