LESSON 1 · Travel English Survival Kit
Check-In and Security Phrases
At check-in, you will hear and need these phrases:
- "I'd like to check in for my flight to..." — your opening line
- "Window or aisle?" — seat preference question
- "Any bags to check?" — luggage for the hold
- "Carry-on only" — if you are traveling light
- "Your boarding pass and ID, please" — at the checkpoint
At security, keep your answers short and clear. Agents screen long lines of travelers, so brief replies keep everyone moving.
