Airport Check-In Nick and Lisa are going to Paris to study French. They have just arrived at the airport.
L: Lisa
N: Nick
A: Airline Clerk
L: Let’s find the check-in counter 1. We’re flying Pan World Airlines. N: I think it’s at this end of the terminal 2. Yes, I see the sign 3 over there. Are you sure you don’t want to go by boat? L: Come on, Nick! Here’s the economy-class 4 checkin counter. (To the clerk) Hi, we want to check in. A: May I have your tickets and passports, please? L: Yes, here you are. And we’d like a window and an aisle 5 seat, if possible. A: Let’s see . . . OK. How many bags will you be checking in today? L: Um, four. Two each. A: Please put them on the scale 6. Good. Uh-oh, your bags are too heavy. I’m afraid there will be an overweight 7 luggage charge of $30. N: Oh no! I told you not to pack so many things. L: I’ll pay the overweight charge. A: Here are your boarding cards. You can board at gate nine at seven thirty. N: We could drive to Paris. There are no weight limits8 for luggage when you drive. L: Drive to Paris? There are no roads from Liveville to Paris, Nick!
