Audio Transcript
- Good morning, sir. Welcome to American Airlines. How can I assist you today?
- Hello. I would like to check in to my flight.
- Sure. I can help you with that. Can I see your passport?
- Yes, here it is.
- So, my computer shows that you are traveling from Miami to Berlin. Do you have any luggage to check?
- Yes. I have one suitcase.
- All right. Please place your luggage onto the scale. (pause) Okay. I see that it weighs 24 pounds, so it is within the acceptable limit.
- Great! So, I do not need to pay an overweight baggage fee?
- No. It looks like you are traveling light today! Here’s your passport and boarding pass. You will need to head towards Terminal B, and there you will find Gate 27.
- Okay. Which way is Terminal B?
- You must first go through the security checkpoint. It is right around the corner and to the left. Then you will need to take the elevator up two levels and turn right. There you’ll find Terminal B.
- Oh, I see. Thank you so much!
- It is my pleasure. Have a nice flight. Bon voyage!
