Check-in Clerk: Good morning. Can I help you?

Ms Welch: Hi, good morning. I’d like to check in for flight CZ3342 to Log Angeles.

Check-in Clerk: Yes, may I have your passport, please?　

Ms Welch: Here you are.

Check-in Clerk: Thank you. Er…So, what kind of seat do you prefer?　

Ms Welch: Can you give me an aisle seat?

Check-in Clerk: I’m sorry. There aren’t any aisle seats anymore. Will the window seat be all right?　

Ms Welch: Yes, that’s all right.

Check-in Clerk: Smoking or non-smoking?

Ms Welch: Non-smoking. And by the way, could I order a vegetarian meal, please?  

Check-in Clerk: One vegetarian meal, OK. Any check-in luggage?

Ms Welch: Yes, I have 2 pieces. I hope they’re not overweight.  

Check-in Clerk: Please put your luggage on the scale… Oh, I’m sorry, your luggage is overweight. The free allowance for luggage is only 20 kilos.

Ms Welch: Oh, can I keep this little bag as hand-luggage?

Check-in Clerk: Yeah, OK.

Ms Welch: OK.

Check-in Clerk: Yeah, in this way, it’s just below the limit. Do you need luggage tags?

Ms Welch: No, it’s OK. They’re labeled already.

Check-in Clerk: Right

Ms Welch: We’re changing aircraft in Bangkok. Will the luggage be transferred automatically?

Check-in Clerk: Yes, it’s checked through to Los Angeles.

Ms Welch: OK. And, you know, the weather is not very good. Is there any possibility that the flight might be put off ?

Check-in Clerk: Sorry, I don’t know. But I haven’t received any notice so far.

Ms Welch: OK.

Check-in Clerk: Here is your passport and your boarding card. The boarding time is 11am, and the boarding gate is Gate 5.

Ms Welch: Where is Gate 5?

Check-in Clerk: It’s upstairs. You go upstairs and then you turn left. Follow the sign and you will find it.

Ms Welch: OK. Thank you very much.

Check-in Clerk: Thank you, bye!
