機場報到Check-in

Jamie is going to leave Hong Kong for a holiday, and a ground staff (地勤人員) is helping him to check in.

Jamie: Excuse me (不好意思), is this where I check in for flight number (航班編號) CX 135? I am a Marco Polo club member (馬可孛羅會員).

Ground Staff: Yes, may I have your passport (護照), please?

Jamie: Here you go (給你).

Ground Staff: Do you have a seating preference (喜好)?

Jamie: Yes, I’d like to sit near a window, please.

Ground Staff: No problem. Mr. Cheuk, do you have any luggage (行李) that you’d like to check in at this time?

Jamie: Yes, this one, please. Could you help me mark this bag as ‘fragile (易碎)’?

Ground Staff: OK, please place your bag on the scale ().

Jamie: Is there a layover (中途轉機)?

Ground Staff: Yes, in Taipei (台北), for 8 hours.

Jamie: Do I need to pick up my luggage there?

Ground Staff: No, it’ll go straight through to Melbourne (墨爾本). Here is your boarding pass (登機證) - your flight leaves from gate 70 and it’ll start boarding (開始登機) at 6:30 pm. Your seat number is 36G and it’s a window seat. As our club member, you may enjoy the lounge (貴賓室) before your flight.

Jamie: Thanks.

Ground Staff: Have a pleasant flight (祝您旅途愉快).

Vocabulary

1. luggage vs baggage

意思一樣,都是指行李。

luggage為英式英文,baggage為美式英文,兩者皆為不可數名詞。

 

2 layover vs stopover

layover是指轉機,通常是指24小時以內。

stopover是指停留,例如從香港飛美國,中途停留新加坡玩幾日。

 

Expressions

Here you go vs There you go

Here you go是指給一樣物品對方

例如:Do you want this water bottle? Here you go.(給你這個水樽。)

There you go是指對方已經收到物品

例如:There you go. Hope you like that water bottle.(希望你喜歡那個水樽。)

但留意There you go亦能代表對方領悟到一些東西

例如:There you go. You don’t need my advice. You can figure it out by yourself.(看!你根本不用我的建議,你自己都能夠弄清楚。)

 

go straight through to 直接轉送

如果需要轉機,一定要問清楚行李是否直接運送到另一個航班。

 

旅行提示

  1. 不少人都會加入航空公司的會員計劃,透過飛行所儲的里數,兌換機票或其他獎勵,並享受他們的貴賓服務。
  2. 請地勤人員為你的行李貼上易碎標誌,能減少你的行李被摔壞的機會,而且據說標有這些貼紙的行李都會優先出現在行李提領區。
  3. 除了航空公司的貴賓室,不少信用卡都有提供貴賓室服務給他們的用戶享用。
