Vocabulary – Airport
Exercise 1. Study the useful vocabulary to use in an airport.
A IRPORT
This is place you go to catch your plane. These days, airports are like little cities with thousands of people running around pretending to do things.
TERMINAL
Some airports are so big that they have different sections, otherwise known as terminal. This adds stress to your journey as you have to make sure you arrive at the correct terminal. And if you go to an airport like Heathrow, you really are in trouble if you go to the wrong one: it can take an hour to go from one terminal to another.
B AGGAGE (luggage)
This is a general word to refer to all the bags that you take with you. Sophisticated travellers use expensive and strong Louis Vuitton bags; and cheaper more economical travellers prefer the rucksack. However, in the end it doesn’t matter what you use: all baggage is taken to Brussels ... and left there.
Hand luggage (a carry-on bag)
This is a general word that refers to the little bag that you take with you on the plane. It is not supposed to exceed a certain size or weight. Carry-on bags are often full of useful travelling accessories such as ear plugs, Disc men, i-pods, DVD players, duty-free bags and all the newspapers and magazines you’ve brought along with you.
T rolley
This is the little “vehicle” with wheels that you use to carry your bag. All trolleys are pre-programmed to go in the opposite direction to the one in which you want to go.
Plane check
This is the piece of paper that gives you permission to fly on the plane. In the good old days, people got their tickets from travel agent’s; but these days, many people get their ticket on the internet. These are known as e-tickets, and basically consist of a printed page with a few numbers on them. How boring!
The check-in desk
T his is the long table where you go to show the airline your ticket and to check in your bags. If you are ever lost, just look for the check-in desk with the longest queue – it’s got to be yours! All the others will be free.
SEAT
At the check-in desk they ask you what kind of seat you want: a window one, or an aisle one. The window one gives you a better view, but you are trapped; on the other hand, the aisle seat gives you the freedom to get up when you want, but you’ve got nothing to look at, apart from the person next to you. If you are flying into London Heathrow, ask for a right-hand side window and enjoy one of the best views money can buy (unless it’s cloudy).
A BOARDING CARD
This is special card that they give you that permits you to board the plane, and also buy cheap alcohol and cigarettes in Duty Free.
PASSPORT CONTROL
This is the area where you show your passport and try to prove that you are who you say you are…which is something that philosophers have been trying to answer for centuries.
SECURITY CONTROL
T his is the area you pass through where they check you have no dangerous WMD (Weapons of Mass Destruction) on you. In the past, this consisted of passing through a metal detector, and letting your bag go through an X-ray machine. These days it’s much more complicated and involves biometric tests, dogs, etc.
DEPARTURE LOUNGE
This is the large area where you wait for your plane. It’s full of shops, restaurants and bored-looking passengers.
DUTY-FREE SHOP
This is the shop where you can buy presents for your friends and family at supposedly duty-free prices. However, many of these prices are still higher than the prices you pay in an ordinary shop outside the airport.
CURRENCY EXCHANGE
This is the type of bank where you can change your money into another currency. In the past, you were charged enormous amounts of commission to do this, but the introduction of the common currency has changed all that. Halleluiah!
T HE FLIGHT GATE
This is the area where you wait immediately before boarding your plane. It’s the final part of your journey in the airport. Now, it’s time for you to get on that plane and fly away. Have a good flight!
Exercise 2. Answer the following questions:
When was the last time you went on a plane?
Did you have a good flight?
What signs at the airport do you remember?
What are the main premises at the airport?
What do passengers usually do at the Customs?
Exercise 3. Arrange the following in pairs of synonyms.
huge safety
successful method
control scrupulous
security airplane
techniques check
careful mechanism
protect competent
device massive
aircraft confidence
efficient wealthy
trust defend
