Making airline reservations

I’d like to book an economy class ticket on flight 93 to Los Angeles at 14:00 on November 9.

Is there any discount for that flight?

Just a minute, please. I’ll see if there are seats available.

May I know your name, please? You’re booked on flight 93, leaving

at 14:00, November 9.

Checking in at the airport Will you please give me your ticket and passport? Can I keep my lovely Shreck with me, I have the

health permit for him. Could you label your luggage and put it on the s

cales? Your luggage is … kilos overweight. I’m afraid

you have to pay an excess luggage charge. How much should I pay for the overweight? Here’s your boarding card/pass, ticket and pas

sport.

Going throughthe security check

May I have your ticket and passport, please? Please put your luggage on the conveyor belt( 传送

带 ) and have it X-rayed? Sorry sir, the warning system is heard. I’ll have to s

top you for inspection. Have you brought anything metal/contraband with

you? I don’t think so! This is just a toy gun/a bag of …! You are not allowed to take dangerous articles aboa

rd the plane. Sorry, your styling mousse is included in the categor

y of combustibles( 易燃物 , 可燃物 ).

Going through customs Have you got anything dutiable? Have you got any contraband in your

luggage? I’m afraid your paintings needs to be

declared because it belongs to the category requiring customs duties.

You don’t have to pay duty on personal belongings.

How much should I pay for the duty?
