Need to speak English at the airport? This travel English lesson will teach you phrases from English conversations! Study each dialogue at the airport and then read my explanation of the phrases in each English conversation.

Airport English Conversation #1 - At the Check-In Desk
Dan is flying from New York to Los Angeles. When he arrives at the airport, he goes to the check-in desk. Listen to the conversation he has with the agent:
Agent: Good afternoon! Where are you flying to today?

Dan: Los Angeles.

Agent: May I have your passport, please?

Dan: Here you go.

Agent: Are you checking any bags?

Dan: Just this one.

Agent: OK, please place your bag on the scale.

Dan: I have a stopover in Chicago - do I need to pick up my luggage there?

Agent: No, it'll go straight through to Los Angeles. Here are your boarding passes - your flight leaves from gate 15A and it'll begin boarding at 3:20. Your seat number is 26E.

Dan: Thanks.

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

A stopover or layover is when the airplane stops in a different city before continuing to the final destination

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)

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)

Other Questions & Phrases for the Airport

"Excuse me, where is the American Airlines check-in desk?"

"How many bags can I check?"

"Will my luggage go straight through, or do I need to pick it up in [Chicago]?"

"How much is the fee?"
If your bag is heavier than the weight limits, or if your bag is larger than the size limits, you may need to pay extra: an oversized baggage fee or overweight baggage fee (this can be $75 to $300). Some airlines in the United States also charge a fee for ALL checked bags (usually $15 to $30).

Extra questions in the U.S.

On flights going to or inside the U.S., you might be asked some extra security questions before or during check-in. Here are some sample questions:

Answer YES to these questions:

Did you pack your bags yourself?

Has your luggage been in your possession at all times?

Are you aware of the regulations regarding liquids in your carry-on?
(Liquids must be 100 mL or less, and stored in a single quart-sized clear plastic bag)
More information: TSA.gov

Answer NO to these questions:

Are you carrying any firearms or flammable materials?

Have you left your luggage unattended at any time?

Has anyone given you anything to carry on the flight?

Airport English Conversation #2 - Going through Security

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 below, the woman is walking through the metal detector.
Her suitcase is on theconveyor belt after going through the X-ray machine.
Agent: Please lay your bags flat on the conveyor belt, and use the bins for small objects.

Dan: Do I need to take my laptop out of the bag?

Agent: Yes, you do. Take off your hat and your shoes, too.
(he walks through the metal detector)
[BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP]

Agent: Please step back. Do you have anything in your pockets - keys, cell phone, loose change?

Dan: I don't think so. Let me try taking off my belt.

Agent: Okay, come on through.
(he goes through the metal detector again)
Agent: You're all set! Have a nice flight.
The phrase "you're all set" is a common expression that means "you're finished and everything is OK." Phrasal Verbs: SET OFF and 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."

Airport English: Announcements at the Gate

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.

"Please have your boarding pass and identification ready for boarding."

"We would like to invite our first- and business-class passengers to board."

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

"Passenger John Smith, please proceed to the United Airlines desk at gate 12."

Airport English Conversation #3: On the plane

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. Listen to this conversation that Dan has with the flight attendant when dinner is served on the flight.

Flight attendant: Chicken or pasta?

Dan: Sorry?

Flight attendant: Would you like chicken or pasta?

Dan: I'll have the chicken.

Flight attendant: Anything to drink?

Dan: What kind of soda do you have?

Flight attendant: Coke, Diet Coke, Sprite, Orange, and Dr. Pepper.

Dan: A Diet Coke, no ice, please.

Flight attendant: Here you go.

Dan: Thanks.

English Conversation Tips:

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...?" Practice your pronunciation with these common requests:

"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?"

"Could I have some extra napkins?"

Finally, if you need to stand up, but there is a person sitting between you and the aisle, you can say Excuse me and make a motion to start standing up. The person sitting next to you will understand and stand up to let you get out of your seat.

You've finished Lesson 16! I hope you've enjoyed these English conversations at the airport. Now take the quiz to test how well you remember the airport English phrases.

In tomorrow's lesson, you'll learn from more English conversations at the airport - phrases for arriving at the destination airport, going through immigration, and dealing with common travel problems.

Dear family,

I hope you are all well. I missed you a lot during my trip, and I thought about you every day. I want to tell you about my days in Paris.

Paris was a beautiful city, full of life and history. On the first day, we walked near the River Seine and visited the Eiffel Tower. It was amazing to see it in real life. At night, the lights made it even more beautiful.

We also went to the Louvre Museum. It was very big, and there were many interesting paintings and sculptures. I saw the Mona Lisa and took many photos. I enjoyed walking around and learning new things.

Another special place was Montmartre. The streets were small and charming, and there were many cafés and artists. I sat outside, drank coffee, and watched people. It was very relaxing.

I can’t wait to come home and share all my stories with you.

Dear family,

I miss you so much.

Paris is beautiful and very lively. Right now, I walk a lot and visit famous places with my group. Today, we walk near the River Seine and take many photos. I see the Eiffel Tower, and it looks amazing, especially at night.

We also visit the Louvre Museum. It is very big, and there are many beautiful paintings and sculptures. I see the Mona Lisa, and I feel very excited.

Now, I sit in a small café in Montmartre. The streets are charming, and artists paint in the square. I drink coffee, relax, and watch people.

I can’t wait to come home.
