-
friends teacher Prix here to help you talk to anyone anywhere anytime in English. Thanks

-
for taking the time to watch this video I hope I can help you with this lesson and make

sure to subscribe so that you don't miss any of my weekly videos. But here we go, question
-
number one, where are you flying to, today? basically, the check-in attendant wants to
-
know where you are going, where are you flying to, today? So you can say to Montreal or just
-
the name of the place, Montreal. Number two, May I see your passport, please? Or passport
-
and ticket, please. Sometimes they may ask you for the ticket, sometimes they may ask
-
you only for the passport, it depends. So when the check-in attendant asks you this
-
question you can just give the passport and the ticket or you can say here it is or here
-
you are. Question number 3, are you checking any bags? When we travel we usually bring
-
bags because we need to take clothes, personal items, so we need bags. ok, at the check-in,
-
you need to check this bag. ok. It is very important to do that. So this is a very common
-
question they ask you. ok. To answer this question, here are some possibilities. yes,
-
two bags. ok and then you say the number of bags you are checking, ok. There is usually
-
a limit of two bags but sometimes you can pay an additional fee and check more bags.
-
It depends. Or if it is only one you can say, just this one, just = only, just this one
-
or maybe you are not checking any bags you only have your carry-on luggage. What is a
-
carry-on luggage? it is a piece of luggage that you bring with you on the airplane. ok,
-
so you don't check it, you bring this bag with you. So you can also say well no, I am
-
not. I only have a carry-on. Very well, question number 4. This question is very popular at
-
American airports. American airports are known to be very strict with security. This may
-
sound like a silly question but it is a popular one, especially at American airports. Have
-
you left your bag unattended at any time? Basically, the check-in attendant is asking
-
you if you left your bag alone even if for two minutes while you were at the airport
-
or coming to the airport, just say no, ok. No, I haven't. ok. Or just say "no", alright.
-
I used present perfect to ask this question, it is a very common structure to ask this
-
question have you left your bag unattended at any time? NO, I haven't or just say no.
-
Another common question related to this subject is has anyone, has a person, has anyone given
-
you anything to carry on the flight, to bright to the flight? Basically, again I am asking
-
you if a person, a friend or someone gave you something for you to bring on the flight,
-
ok. People as a matter of security we should never accept anything from anyone, so if it
-
is true, if the answer is yes, just say yes, ok to avoid any problems and remember, just
-
bring things from people you trust 100%; Nice, are you enjoying this video? yes, how about

-

-
number 5 is not a question, it is a command, an instruction. Place your bag on the scale.
-
Why is this important? I have seen people have problems to understand this command at
-
airports ok? so it is important to understand that. When the check-in attendant tells you
-
to place your bag on the scale, as you can see here on the screen, this is a scale and
-
it is where you have to put your bag, ok so just follow the instructions one bag at a
-
time. If you have two bags put one first, if you have another bag, wait for the check-in
-
attendant to tell you to put the second bag on the scale. Oh and Priscila, do I need to
-
say anything? Not really, just do what the check-in attendant tells you, you can say
-
ok, alright, but you don't need to say much. Number 6 would you like a window or aisle
-
seat? Basically in this question, the check-in attendant wants to know which seat you prefer,
-
now important thing, not all check-in attendants will ask you this question, ok so if you have
-
a preference, it is important to talk about it, but I will help you in a second with that.
-
So if the check-in attendant asks you would you like a window or an aisle seat? So as
-
you can see these are the three types of seat you have inside an airplane. You have the
-
window seat, the middle seat and the asile seat. just tell the check-in attendant which
-
one you prefer, the middle seat please, the aisle seat please, the window seat please
-
or you can say I would likethe aisle seat please, I would like the window seat please.
-
Now as I said, if the check in attendant doesn't ask you this question and you wanna talk about
-
it you can say, Excuse-me, can I get a middle seat, please? or Can I get an aisle seat,
-
please? You can ask this question, ok? and finally number 7 not really a question, an
-
instruction, ok a command. After you finish the check-in the check-in attendant will give
-
you some instructions of what to do, of where to go, ok so they will usually say Here is
-
your boarding pass, this is a boarding pass. Go through security, and your flight to Montreal
-
will depart from Gate C26. The flight boards at 2:30. At this moment, the check-in attendant
-
is just giving you some additional instruction of where to go, if you don't understand this
-
information, you can check all this information on your boarding pass. If you want to ask
-
the check-in attendant to explain again all you can say is excuse me can you say that
-
again please, pardon me? and the person will repeat or you can, can you repeat that again
-
please? On my blog you can find 10 additional phrases and questions that you may need at
-
