Welcome to English listening Channel.
Hello everyone.
Today we're going to learn English for the airport.
In this video, you will follow a simple and clear step-by-step guide on how to get on a plane.
Don't worry, I will speak slowly and clearly, so please relax and enjoy the lesson.
Before we start, I have a small question for you.
Please listen carefully to find the answer.
This will help you understand English more deeply.
So here is today's question.
What do you need at the check-in counter?
The answer is mentioned in the video.
If you find the answer, please write it in the comments section.
By writing your answer in English, you can improve your English skills even more effectively.
Alright, let's start the video.
Are you ready?
Okay, let's begin.
Hi everyone.
Welcome back.
I'm so happy to see you here again.
Thank you for joining me today.
I am standing in the departure lobby of the airport right now.
Today we are going to learn about flying.
I want to show you how to get on a plane step by step from the very beginning to the very end.
If you are traveling by plane for the first time, or if you want to practice your English for the airport, this video is perfect for you.
And even if you have flown many times before, I think you will learn something new today.
Okay, so let me tell you what we are going to do today.
There are four main steps.
Step one is check-in and dropping off your bags.
This is where you go to the counter, show your passport and ticket and give your suitcase to the staff.
They will send it to the plane for you.
Step 2 is the security check.
This is where they make sure everything is safe.
Step 3 is the boarding gate.
This is where you wait for your plane and then get on.
And Step 4 is inside the plane.
We will learn what happens after you sit down.
So, four steps.
Check-in and bags, security, boarding gate, and the plane.
That's everything.
Sounds simple, right?
Don't worry.
I will explain everything slowly and clearly so you can follow along.
Are you ready?
Let's get started.
Okay, so now we are at the check-in counter.
This is where step one begins.
This is where your journey at the airport starts.
You will check in and drop off your bags here at the same counter.
When you come to the check-in counter, you need to have two things ready.
Number one, your passport, and number two, your ticket.
Some people have a paper ticket.
Some people have an electronic ticket on their phone.
Either one is fine.
The staff will accept both.
You give your passport and ticket to the staff member and they will check your name, your flight number and your destination.
They will also ask you about your bags.
For example, they might say, how many bags are you checking in today?
Or do you have any bags to check?
After everything is confirmed, you will get your boarding pass.
The boarding pass is very important.
It has your seat number, your gate number, and your boarding time on it.
Please keep it safe.
Don't lose it.
Okay, so at this same counter, you will also give your suitcase to the staff.
They will check the weight and send it to the plane for you.
Let's watch a real conversation between a staff member and a passenger.
Please listen carefully to how they speak.
Good morning, sir.
Welcome.
How can I help you today?
Good morning.
I'd like to check in for my flight, please.
Of course.
Can I see your passport, please?
Sure.
Here you go.
Thank you very much.
And do you have your ticket or booking number?
Yes, I have it on my phone.
Let me show you.
Perfect.
Thank you.
Let me check that for you.
Okay.
I can see your booking here.
You are on flight AB205 to London, departing at 10.30 this morning.
Is that correct?
Yes, that's right.
Great.
Now, are you checking in any bags today?
Yes, I have one suitcase I'd like to check in.
Okay, no problem.
Could you please put it on the scale right here?
Sure.
Like this?
Yes, that's perfect.
Thank you.
Let me check the weight for you.
Okay.
It is 18 kilograms.
The limit is 23 kilograms.
So you are well within the limit.
No extra charge.
Oh, great.
I was a little worried it might be too heavy.
Not at all.
You have a lot of space left.
Now, I need to ask you a quick question.
Do you have any liquids, batteries or sharp items in this bag?
No, nothing like that.
Just clothes and some books.
Perfect.
That's great.
I will put the tag on your bag now and send it to the plane for you.
Okay.
Here is your boarding pass.
Your seat is 14A, which is a window seat, and your gate is gate 22.
14A, gate 22.
Got it.
Thank you.
Boarding starts at 10 o'clock, so please be at the gate before that time.
Okay.
I will make sure to be there on time.
Thank you very much.
You're welcome.
Have a wonderful flight.
Thank you.
Have a nice day.
Okay, so now we are standing in front of the security checkpoint.
This is step two.
This is a very important part of the airport process.
Everyone must go through security before they can get to the boarding gate.
That means every single person.
Let me explain what happens here so you know exactly what to do.
First, when you get in line, you will see some plastic trays.
You need to put your belongings in the tray, things like your bag, your jacket, your belt and your shoes.
Some airports ask you to take off your shoes and some don't.
Just follow what the staff tell you.
If you have a laptop or a tablet, take it out of your bag and put it in a separate tray by itself.
Also, If you have any large water bottles or drinks, you need to finish them or throw them away before you go through.
You cannot bring large amounts of liquids through security.
Small amounts are usually allowed.
Next, check your pockets.
Make sure your pockets are completely empty.
Take out your phone, your wallet, your coins, your keys, and anything else you have.
Put everything in the tray.
Then you walk through the metal detector.
It looks like a big doorway or a frame.
If it beeps, don't panic.
It just means you might have something metal on you.
Maybe you forgot a coin in your pocket.
Or maybe it's your watch.
The staff will check and help you.
It's not a big deal.
After you walk through, you pick up your things from the other side of the machine.
And that's it.
You're done with security.
Okay, so after security, we have two more things to show you.
First, the boarding gate, and then what happens inside the plane.
Both of these are real conversations between a staff member and a passenger, so please listen carefully to the English.
Try to understand as much as you can just by listening.
Okay, let's start with the boarding gate.
Here is the conversation.
Please listen carefully.
Good morning, sir.
Can I see your boarding pass, please?
Good morning.
Yes, of course.
Here it is.
Thank you.
Let me take a look.
Okay, so you are on flight AB205 to London, is that correct?
Yes, that's correct.
And your seat is 14A.
That is a window seat on the left side of the plane.
Yes, I requested a window seat when I booked my ticket.
I like looking outside during the flight.
That's a great choice.
You should have a really nice view today.
The weather is clear.
Oh, that's great to hear.
Okay, so right now we are boarding groups 1 through 3.
Can you check which group you are in?
It should be printed on your boarding pass.
Let me see.
I'm in group 2.
Perfect.
Group 2 is boarding now, so you can go right ahead.
Please have your passport ready as well.
Okay.
Here is my passport and my boarding pass together.
Thank you very much.
Let me scan your boarding pass.
Okay, everything looks good.
You are all set.
That means you are ready to go.
Please go ahead.
When you enter the plane, turn left and walk straight down the aisle.
Your seat, 14A, will be on your left side.
Turn left and walk straight.
14A on the left.
Got it.
Thank you so much.
You're welcome.
Enjoy your flight today.
Thank you very much.
Have a great day.
Excuse me, sir.
Can I help you find your seat?
Oh, yes, please.
I'm looking for seat 14A.
Is this the right row?
Yes, this is row 14.
Seat A is right there by the window.
That one is yours.
Oh, great.
Thank you so much.
You're welcome.
Please go ahead and sit down.
Thank you.
Oh, where should I put my carry-on dag?
You can put it in the overhead bin.
It is the compartment right above your seat.
Just open it and put your bag inside.
Okay, let me try.
Like this?
Is it in the right way?
Yes, that's good.
Just push it in a little more so it doesn't fall out, and please close the bin after.
Okay.
Done.
Perfect.
Great job.
Now, sir, we are going to take off soon, so I need you to please fasten your seatbelt.
Sure.
Of course.
Actually, I'm not quite sure how this seatbelt works.
It looks a little different from a car seatbelt.
Could you show me how to use it?
Of course, no problem at all.
It's very easy.
First, take the flat metal end in one hand.
Do you see it?
Yes, I see it.
This part here.
That's the one.
Now slide it into the buckle on the other side.
Push it in until you hear a click.
Okay, let me try.
Oh, I heard the click.
Did I do it right?
Yes, that's perfect.
Well done.
Now pull the loose end of the strap to tighten it around your waist.
Like this?
How tight should it be?
It should be tight but still comfortable.
You don't want it too loose, but it shouldn't hurt either.
It should fit closely around your waist.
Okay, I think this feels right.
Is this good enough?
Let me take a look.
Yes, that looks great.
You are all set.
Great, thank you.
Oh, one more thing.
How do I take it off when we land?
Just lift the top of the buckle with your finger.
It will release right away.
Very simple.
Oh, that is easy.
I can do that.
Thank you so much for your help.
You're very welcome.
Please keep your seatbelt fastened while the seatbelt sign is turned on.
The sign is right up there.
I understand.
I'll keep it on.
Thank you again.
Of course.
And if you need anything at all during the flight, just press the call button right above your seat.
A member of the crew will come to help you.
That's very helpful.
Thank you so much.
I really appreciate it.
My pleasure.
Enjoy the flight.
Okay, everyone, we did it!
That was the whole process of getting on a plane, from the very beginning to the very end.
Let me go over the four steps one more time to help you remember.
Step one was check in and dropping off your bags.
You go to the counter, show your passport and your ticket, and give your suitcase to the staff.
They check the weight, put a tag on it, and give you a boarding pass.
Step two was the security check.
You put your things in the tray and walk through the metal detector.
Remember to empty your pockets.
Step three was the boarding gate.
You show your boarding pass and the staff tells you when you can get on the plane.
And step four was inside the plane.
You find your seat, put your bag in the overhead bin, sit down, and fasten your seat belt.
That's everything.
Four simple steps and you're ready to fly.
I know it can feel a little scary to speak English at the airport, especially if it is your first time, but the conversations you heard today were not that difficult, right.
The airport staff are always kind and friendly.
They are there to help you.
If you don't understand something, it's okay to ask them to repeat it or to speak more slowly.
They will be happy to help.
My advice for you is this.
Listen to this video many times.
You can listen while you are cooking, while you are walking, while you are on the train or even before you go to sleep.
If you listen again and again, the words and phrases will start to feel natural.
You will understand them without thinking about it.
That is how real learning happens.
You are already doing an amazing job by being here and studying English.
I am really proud of you.
Keep going and don't give up.
I believe in you.
You can do this.
Thank you so much for watching today.
I hope this was helpful for you.
If you liked this video, please share it with your friends who are also learning English.

Okay, that's all for today.
See you next time.
Bye-bye.
How was it?
I hope this video helped you understand English at the airport.
