At the airport

Check in, security, gate changes, delays and missed connections.

1Learn the essentials

Airports use a small set of fixed phrases. Knowing them removes most of the stress.

Check-in: “I'd like a window/aisle seat, please.”
Listen for: boarding, gate, delayed, connection, baggage claim.
If something goes wrong: “I think I've missed my connection — what are my options?”

2Warm up & speak

Phrase 1 / 6

I'd like to check this bag.

Quisiera documentar esta maleta.

💡 'Check a bag' es facturarla; la de mano es 'carry-on'.

Speak it, or skip ahead anytime.

3Lock it in

A2say it out loud

The connection you just lost

Your first flight landed late and the second is gone. One desk is open, eleven people behind you.

Say your flight number and the problem in one short sentence.
Ask for the next flight, then ask what time you must be at the gate.
Say the new time and the new gate back to the agent before you move away.

You did it if

You gave the flight number first, and you walked away with a time and a gate you had said out loud.
