Hi, I'm Georgiana, your English teacher.

Thanks for joining me for a new episode of the Speak English Now podcast.

If you want to help, please share the podcast on social media.

That would mean a lot. Thanks.

Before we start, visit my website, speak Englishpodcast.com and subscribe to my free mini-course. In the next five days, you will discover

how to enhance your English fluency. Okay, let's start. In today's episode,

you'll learn some useful airport English vocabulary. Later, you'll practice your English speaking

with a funny mini-story. Awesome. Let's get started. So you want to

travel by plane, right? It's just natural to be a little worried because sometimes there are

things that can prevent us from getting on time. I almost missed the plane in several occasions and after that I became more responsible.

Nowadays I can say that I plan my plane trip more efficiently. The night before the trip,

I make sure that the flight is confirmed because it can get delayed or even canceled due to bad weather.

I book my flights online.

I book a one-way ticket when I don't want to return to my destination right away.

However, I usually book a round-trip ticket, which includes a return ticket too,

and I'm not in a habit of checking in my luggage when I travel.

Airlines usually allow us to check up to two suitcases. Nonetheless, I like traveling only with my

carry-on luggage and a small backpack where I keep my passport, the ID, and boarding pass. Since I don't check the luggage

when I travel, I'm allowed to check in online, so when I arrive at the airport, I already have my

boarding card printed out. Like I told you, there are always unexpected things that can happen, so I prefer to be on time.

I usually arrive two hours early at the airport and from there I start my adventure to the boarding gate.
