>>CLERK: Hello.
Can I help you?

>>CLERK: Certainly, when do you want to go?
>>MANUEL: I have to be there for a meeting on the morning of the nineteenth.
>>CLERK: The earliest flight on the nineteenth arrives at 9:30 (nine-thirty)in the morning.

I have to be there for a flower show competition at nine.
What flights do you have on the eighteenth?
>>CLERK: What time?
>>MANUEL: The afternoon's fine.
>>CLERK: Okay.
I have a flight that arrives in Prince George at eight o'clock in the evening.

Can you book that for me, please?
>>CLERK: Yes, of course.
>>MANUEL: And is there a meal on that flight?
>>CLERK: Yes, there is.
>>MANUEL: Is there a selection?
>>CLERK: Yes.
There is a regular meal or a vegetarian dish.
Which would you prefer?
>>MANUEL: I'll take the vegetarian, please.
>>CLERK: Certainly.
>>MANUEL: And I'd like an aisle seat, please.
>>CLERK: An aisle seat?
Yes.
>>MANUEL: Good.
And, I'd like to rent a car at the airport.
Could you arrange that for me?
>>CLERK: No, I'm sorry.
But you can use the courtesy phone in the lobby to make the reservation.
>>MANUEL: That's okay.
I'll call from work.
>>CLERK: And when do you want to return from Prince George?
>>MANUEL: I have to be back on the nineteenth, after the competition.
Do you have any late-afternoon departures?
CLERK: Yes, I have a flight that leaves Prince George at five o'clock and arrives here at
7:30 (seven-thirty).
>>MANUEL: That's fine.
>>CLERK: So, departing for Prince George on the eighteenth at 5:30 (fivethirty) ... and
returning from Prince George on the nineteenth at five o'clock.
>>MANUEL: Yes, that's good.
>>CLERK: Please call this number to confirm your flight.
The confirmation should be made a few days prior to travel.

How would you like to pay for that?
>>MANUEL: I'll pay by cheque.
>>CLERK: That will be fine.
>>MANUEL: So that's ... Today's the ninth, and that's $525.00 (five hundred and twenty
five dollars).
>>CLERK: That's right.
