Dialogue 1.

А: Thank you for calling Quick Air Travel. Can I help you?

В: I’d like to by a ticket from New York to Toronto. I am planning to fly on Friday, the 10^th of June.

А: Would you like to by a one-way ticket or a round trip?

В: I would like it to be the least expensive round trip ticket and I’d like to be back on the 14^th of June.

A: I see, sir. Then, you can stay in Toronto over a Saturday night and since it is still more than 14 days before you travel, you can get a supersaver ticket.

B: What’s the price?

A: It is 300 dollars for a round trip. It is cheaper than a one-way ticket.

B: Thank you very much. Please, reserve 2 seats for me.

Dialogue 2.

А:Helen! What are you doing here?

В: Hello, John! I am flying to London, by British Airways.

А: You look worried! What’s the matter?

В: You know, I have got some problems with my baggage. It is some excess baggage and I can’t take something out because I have some gifts for my friends and relatives in London. And I have no time to pay extra.

А: Oh, I can help you. I have only one small bag because I am flying on business. I can take one of your bags and bring it in.

В: Oh, John, you are very kind. Let’s hurry up! The boarding is coming to an end. Thank you very much.

A: Let’s go!

Dialogue 3.

A: Are you all right, madam? You look pale!

B: Oh, I am not quite right. I feel airsick a bit.

A: Would you like something to drink – some mineral water or juice?

B: Yes, that would be nice. And please, lower the back of my seat.

A: Yes, certainly. Is it better?

B: Yes, thank you. Could you ring for a stewardess? Maybe she can give me something for airsickness.

A: Just a moment, madam.
