At the airport

Airports are typical places to use your English. Let's see what and how can you express ;)

Luggage/Baggage

US/GB

Conversation Vocabulary And Phrases

Instead of “Where are you flying today?”the agent may ask “What’s your final destination?” The answer will be the same!

You can say “Here you go” anytime you give something to somebody

To check your bags means to put them on the airplane inside the cargo compartment. The small bag you take with you on the airplane is called a carry-on. You need to put your carry-on bags through the X-ray machine at security.

The scale the equipment that tells you the weight of your luggage (45 kilograms, for example)

Conversation Vocabulary And Phrases

If the agent says that your luggage will go straight through, it means it will go directly to the final destination (and you don’t need to pick it up during your stopover =additional stop)

Boarding passes are the tickets that permit you to enter the airplane

When a plane begins boarding, it means that the passengers start to enter the plane. Usually boarding time is 30-60 minutes before takeoff (when the plane leaves)

Conversation Vocabulary And Phrases

There are two pieces of equipment in security: you put your bags through the X-ray machine, and you walk through the metal detector. Some airports also use a body scanner for a more careful check.

The X-ray machine has a conveyor belt that moves your bags automatically through the machine. You can put small items like keys or money into plastic bins.

In the picture on the right side, the 

woman is  walking through the metal 

detector.  Her suitcase is on the conveyor 

belt after going through the X-ray 

machine.

Set off/Go off

When the alarm sounds, we say “the alarm went off.” To describe what caused the alarm to sound, we say “set off” – for example, “My keys set off the alarm” or “My keys set off the metal detector.”

Conversation Vocabulary And Phrases

Airports are divided into terminals (the major sections of the airport) and each terminal has many gates. 

The gate is the door you go through to enter the airplane. Here are a few announcements you might hear while you are at the gate, waiting for the plane to board.

• “There has been a gate change.”
  (this means the flight will leave from a different gate) 
• “United Airlines flight 880 to Miami is now boarding.”
  (this means it’s time for passengers to enter the plane) 
• “Please have your boarding pass and identification ready for boarding.”
  
• “We would like to invite our first- and business-class passengers to board.”

Conversation Vocabulary And Phrases

• “We are now inviting passengers with small children and any passengers requiring special assistance to begin boarding.”
  

• “We would now like to invite all passengers to board.”
  

(this means everyone can enter the plane) 

• “This is the final boarding call for United Airlines flight 880 to Miami.”
  

(this means it is the FINAL OPPORTUNITY to enter the plane before they close the doors) 

• “Passenger John Smith, please proceed to the United Airlines desk at gate 12.”
  

Conversation Vocabulary And Phrases

• The people who work inside the airplane serving food and drinks are called flight attendants. Both men and women who have this job are called flight attendants.
• If you didn’t understand what the flight attendant said, you can say Sorry? or Pardon? to ask him or her to repeat it.
  
• If you want to ask for something, you can use the phrase “Can I have…?” or “Could I have…?”:

          “Can I have a pillow?” 
          “Can I have a blanket?” 
          “Can I have a pair of headphones/earbuds?” 
           “Could I have some water/coffee/tea?”
