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?

Nice, 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?
